95. Al Green - ‘Greatest Hits’ + Harvey Wallbanger

Al Green - ‘Greatest Hits’ + Harvey Wallbanger

Ingredients: 1 ounces vodka, 4 ounces orange juice, 1/2 ounce Galliano, orange slice and maraschino cherry for garnish.

Mixing Instructions: Pour the vodka and orange juice into an ice-filled collins glass. Float the Galliano by pouring slowly over a spoon turned bottom-side up.  Add orange slice and maraschino cherry for garnish.

Notes:  It’s difficult to find a greatest hits album as perfectly on point as the one compiled by Reverend Al Green.  The sixth of ten children and son of an Arkansas sharecropper, Green’s voice is a more powerful instrument on its own than most full bands.  His music ranges from supremely cool as in “Here I Am (Come Take Me)” and “I Can’t Get Next to You” to perfectly elegant, “Call Me (Come Back Home)” and “I’m Still in Love With You”.  This album is a piece of music history that plays well on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Give it a spin and experience the legend Rolling Stone described as being, “…born to make us smile.”
