The Belle Album

The Belle Album is the 12th studio album by soul musician Al Green. It is his first album recorded without longtime producer Willie Mitchell, owner of Green’s former label, Hi Records. This also marks the first instance in which Green plays lead guitar on his records and also didin’t include the Hi Rhythm Section.

The Belle Album is also one of the last in a string of secular recordings made by Green before he had converted to Christianity and had been ordained as a pastor!
