The two hundred and sixty-ninth album: #269 Al Green - Let's Stay Together
Al Green's only album on the list is anchored by the titular track, a lovely and well performed soul classic. It sets the tone for the album - a nice smooth sound, lyrics mostly about love, nothing too complicated, just getting you through the variety of sounds while giving you something to hold on to. The tracks are a bit grocery story music - a song you can put on to remove silence, without causing too much concern or oddities. I'm not sure there are necessarily masterpieces in here, but the album is here as an example of a great soul album, well performed and lovely to listen to throughout.
