Bobby Womack The Womack Live 1970

The Womack Live is the first live album by soul singer Bobby Womack.

He is another of my “should have been huge” artists and if you like classic soul, you should listen to Bobby Womack. he nearly made it big with his early eighties albums The Poet and The Poet II.

The Womack Live catches him much earlier (it was released in 1970 but I’m not sure when it was recorded).

By then he’d written the #1 hit for The Rolling Stones, It’s All Over Now which Rod Stewart covers on the live album Coast To Coast. He’d also written songs for Wilson Pickett including I’m a Midnight Mover.

Al Green Tokyo Live 1978

Tokyo Live is a live recording of Al Green performing in Japan in June 1978. It his only mainstream live soul album.

If you want more Al Green, there is the Gospel Concert recording but reviews aren’t encouraging. Sound quality appears to be the problem but I haven’t heard it myself.

Tokyo Live is excellent.

Al Green Tokyo Live – Overall Rating 26/30
