Just a month before his new studio album hits stores, legendary R&B artist Al Green will be headlining Sunday night, April 27, at the iconic and newly rejuvenated New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Set to take the Congo Square "My Louisiana" Stage at 5:45pm, Al will perform mainstays from his career as well as perform new songs from his upcoming release, Lay It Down (due out May 27 on Blue Note Records.)
Lay It Down features Al duetting with John Legend, Corinne Bailey Rae and Anthony Hamilton, and was produced by Green, Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson and James Poyser. Lay It Down is a refreshingly old school jam, with everyone laying down the music together, face-to-face, heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul. The sound is purely Al Green, with the artist duets and Ahmir and James' deft touches bringing it into 2008.
