Al Green teaming up with ?uestlove, more



From AllHipHop:

On his latest release, the legendary Al Green is appealing to a younger audience with a little help from some contemporary heavyweights.

Celebrated Roots drummer Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson and keyboardist James Poyser co-produced the R&B pioneer's new studio album, Lay It Down, creating an updated vibe for the veteran soul/gospel crooner.

Frequent collaborators, ?uestlove and Poyser have played a great role in molding the sound of today's Soul movement, lending their brand of rich, Philly funk to projects by Erykah Badu, Common, Jill Scott, and of course, the legendary Roots crew, to name a few.

The album also features guest spots from Corinne Bailey Rae, Anthony Hamilton and John Legend. The Corrine and Legend tracks will be available on iTunes on Tuesday.

I think this could be pretty cool. Link here for the whole article.
