Your Heart's in Good Hands is American singer Al Green's 26th studio album, his first after a several-year hiatus from secular music, released by MCA Records in 1995. [1] Described as "a solid project that approaches the Rev. Green's classic work with Hi Records", [2] the album was said to capture much of Al Green's early vocal sound, keeping true to his original style but also adding modern elements. "Keep On Pushing Love", a single released from the album, produced by Arthur Baker and co-written with Lotti Golden, Al Green and Tommy Faragher invokes "the original, sparse sound of his [Green's] early classics." [3] "Your Heart's in Good Hands", a single produced by Narada Michael Walden and written by Diane Warren, was also released from the LP. [1]
