Wilson Pickett - Greatest Hits @320

Wilson Pickett sang Southern soul straight from the bottom. He shouted the gospel, screamed the blues, all with a touch of aggressive, near-punk sneer. Success took long for Pickett, and every track on this hits CD caught the joy of achieving it and the pain and anger of waiting for it. Working with R&B\'s finest producers (Jerry Wexler, Rick Hall, Gamble-Huff, Tom Dowd) and best sidemen (that\'s Duane Allman\'s guitar on \"A Man And A Half,\" and an impressive \"Hey Jude\"), Pickett turned fast (\"Land of 1000 Dances,\") slow (\"634-5789,\" \"Mustang Sally,\") hard (\"You Keep Me Hangin\' On\" Staxifies the Vanilla Fudge arrangement!) soft (\"I Found A True Love\"), groovy (\"Mama Told Me Not to Come\") and even bubblegum (hear what happens to \"Sugar Sugar\") into Memphis/Muscle Shoals soul stew. Legendary Philadelphia DJ Hy Lit covered it when calling Pickett\'s music \"psychedelic soulization.\" The hits, some of the 60s sweatiest and intense, are all here, ironically ending at the beginning with three songs Pickett recorded with the Falcons (his hit \"If You Need Me,\" is here, but not \"You\'re So Fine.\") His voice is powerful and raw, raising the roof, testifying about the infamous \"midnight hour,\" but without the controlled fury he gave the rest, and best, of his music. This is R&B coming at you 90 miles an hour, three minutes at a time, and is an essential set from a soul survivor. (Amazon) 01. Don\'t Fight It 02. In The Midnight Hour 03. 634-5789 04.
