Performing at City Stages 2008 - Birmingham, AL at Linn Park. Saturday @ 8:15 p.m. on the Coca-Cola Stage. Video by PRAYZEHYMNOnline.com.
Song: "Lay It Down" - The steamy slow jam & title cut from Green's highly-anticipated Blue Note project; Lay It Down. He breaks the song down and launches into his 1973 hit "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" (pop #10, R&B #2). He wanted to leap into the cool ballad, "Stay With Me," from his new project but the band didn't know the song. This all proves Green is one of the ultimate song singers around and ultimately points out Green's ability to make a show feel so organic and authentic.
