Greatest Hits

Rolling Stone Rank: 52

Man, this album is great. I think the RS review uses the best adjective to describe Al's singing. "Honey-Voiced". Yeah, that's just perfect. I love his voice, and I think he's better than Marvin Gaye.

But alas, it's tough to judge this as a whole, since it's a compilation. It's great to listen to, but it's his best over a six-album period, and doesn't really reflect a singular aim. Interesting man though, and an interesting story about how he turned his life over to god.

Had my final concert of the year yesterday, glad it's over. Can't wait till summer =)
