      THE BELLE ALBUM marks a turning point in the life and music of Al Green. By 1976, Green had gone through some major changes in both his personal and artistic life. The classic Willie Mitchell production style that catapulted Green to stardom in the early '70s had begun to grow stale, especially in the wake of drummer Al Jackson's death, and the singer was in danger of getting stuck in a rut. Around the same time, Green's girlfriend attacked him and then committed suicide, a traumatic experience that ended with Green embracing the church and eventually becoming a reverend. Simultaneously, Green began re-inventing his approach to arranging his music. THE BELLE ALBUM was his first self-production, and it stretches beyond the formula of his earlier albums, with many cuts based around Green's acoustic guitar work.
