At Wolf Trap, the Rev. Al Green's Smoldering Soul

Wolf Trap, Tuesday night, Southern soul rapture: The Rev. Al Green is in fine voice as he performs those simmering songs about love and happiness and Him, and he's gliding effortlessly into falsetto range, and . . . hey, he has a piece of gum in his mouth!

So it turns out that yes, in fact, Al Green can chew gum and unleash those otherworldly shrieks in perfect pitch at the same time. It's just one of many things that he's capable of doing and the rest of us are not.

Green's voice is a miracle, an incomparable, inventive instrument that produces sublime, swooping sounds with apparently minimal effort. He sings with urgency, sensitivity, conviction, control and nuance -- not to mention creativity, particularly as regards his idiosyncratic phrasing.
