Al Green‘s cover of ‘Before The Next Teardrop Falls’, made popular by Freddy Fender, has gotten a wide release.
Green first recorded the song with Matt Ross-Spang in 2018, a decade after his last release, the 2008 album ‘Lay It Down’.
“As a lifelong Memphian, I’ve always been a massive fan of Al Green and his Producer Willie Mitchell,” Ross-Spang said at the time. “Together they created some of the most enduring soul music. Sonically speaking, Willie and Al also really invented a distinct sound that separated them from Stax or Motown.”
