Additional Reading
Stanley Booth, “Psalmist of Soul: Al Green,” in his Rythm Oil: A Journey Through the Music of the American South (1993), pp. 150–158, recounts a visit with Green in which the musician discussed his influences, his friends, and the relationship between his career and his religious faith. Peter Guralnick, Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom (1986, reprinted 1994), an invaluable study of Memphis’s crucial role in the evolution of soul music, portrays the city’s Southern soul empires, illustrating the rise of Hi Records and Al Green and explaining Green’s inheritance and redefinition of the Memphis Sound as well as soul music itself in the early 1970s.
