Call Me is widely regarded as Green's magnum opus, and one of the premiere albums of early 1970s soul. In 2003 the TV network VH1 named it the 70th greatest album in any genre. In 2003, the album was ranked number 289 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Praised for his emotive singing style, Green here incorporates country influences, covering both Willie Nelson and Hank Williams
