Al Green recruits John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae, and other contemporary friends for his first new album in 3 years, Lay It Down, due on Tuesday, May 27, 2008.
Work on the album began in 2005. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of the Roots is the producer in charge who will attempt to fuse Green's secular bluesy grit with today's neo-soul groove.
Al Green will be on tour throughout 2008 to support Lay It Down, his 3rd album on the Blue Note label.
