Hailing from Monroe, Louisiana, but made a “name” in South L.A., this soulful dude is Tony the Tiger great! In the early ‘70s, Green had a string of great 45s arranged by the legendary Miles Grayson including “If You Want Me to Keep on Loving You,” a much sought-after single by soul/blues aficionados. Hard to believe Found! One Soul Singer is Green’s first album. The man is a big-voiced, no-nonsense singer in the tradition of Bobby Bland, Little Johnny Taylor and especially Little Milton. In fact, there are a pair of spot-on covers of Milton’s hits, “If Walls Could Talk” and “Blind Man.” The band also has a big in-the-groove sound, carrying four horns and anchored by Robert Cray alumnus, Jim Pugh, on the B3. Dig Pugh on Green’s kid gloves version of Ted Taylor’s “Be Ever Wonderful.” Besides the great old schools covers, including Green re-doing his own “If You Want Me To Keep Loving You,” there are a handful of pretty good originals here from the pen of guitarist Kid Anderson, whom I’m guessing was influenced by Miles Grayson. Case in point: “Trouble,” which like “the dozens” includes some hilarious banter with one Alabama Mike. No two ways about it, this CD lives up to its title. One of the best new R&B releases in quite some time. You won’t ever regret buying it. Let’s just hope when COVID-19 is history, Green and his band stop by at a club or festival nearby. I know I can’t wait.
