So far, the album boasts D’Angelo, Corinne Bailey Rae, and Anthony Hamilton. So, ?uest is on a quest to get JT hooked, as well. But, that's not the most important thing for him. He tells Rolling Stone:
I’m trying to take [Al] back to 1974 — very dry, very dirty, very grassroots sound. One of the biggest mistakes of modern technology, it doesn’t sound gritty, doesn’t sound raw. A lot of the favorite records we sample from today, those were recorded in studios that were very lackluster. Those weren’t the best studios in the world. I want this album to sound very cheap, very dirty … the vibe the Amy Winehouse album gave you. More than just the song, the creative aspect.
To really harness that sound, ?uestlove has put Al Green on an all heroin and jug wine diet.
