Back Up Train
Back Up Train is Al Green’s debut album, released by Hot Line Records, a label formed by Palmer James and Curtis Rodgers, high school friends of Al Green’s. This album was released prior to signing with Hi Records and still lists his name as “Greene” (the actual correct spelling of his name). -Wikipedia

Green went on to bigger, better things, and this stands as no more than a footnote to his career, but it's an interesting, enjoyable footnote all the same.

Pop Matters
By no means does this brief, half-hour album musically measure up to Green's unparalleled '70s work, but because Green became the artist he did, it's an interesting document nonetheless.

The Guardian
Al Green’s first hit was arguably the most important record he ever made.
