Reverend Al Green is back with his first new single in five years, a cover of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day.” Stream it below.
Green reunited with members of the Hi Rhythm Section at Memphis’ Sam Phillips Recording studio in February to record his version of “Perfect Day,” which also features background vocals from UK alt-R&B artist RAYE. His distinct vocals soar over swelling strings and a rich organ, imbuing the track with a healthy dose of soul. “I loved Lou’s original ‘Perfect Day,’” Green said in a statement. “The song immediately puts you in a good mood. We wanted to preserve that spirit, while adding our own sauce and style.”
Along with the single, Green has announced new shows in Detroit, Michigan on November 24th and St. Charles, Missouri on November 25th. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 25th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Grab your seats for all of his upcoming tour dates via StubHub, where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program.
“Perfect Day” follows Green’s 2018 cover of Freddy Fender’s “Before the Next Teardrop Falls.” A press release teases that Green’s “next season is underway,” with more dates coming soon.
