Among the many great descriptions: "Coming right behind Pickett are affirming stabs on the organ by Spooner Oldham. Moman, Cogbill (on bass here) and Hawkins cook up a groove that matches Pickett’s firmness." That gets right into the heart of the thing without any musicological pretense. You just Hit it: On the One. These are two of my favorite albums, not a slack moment on either.

Thank you, Wayne! I really appreciate the kind words. Those albums pack a whole lot into 30 minutes of music - 'The Exciting Wilson Pickett' and 'The Wicked Pickett' capture exactly what is being heard.
