This 1969 album originally released on Atlantic teams Pickett with the Muscle Shoals session crew and guitarist Duane Allman, whose blues licks add an edge to this collection of rock covers (Hey Jude, Born To Be Wild) and hard southern soul.

Three giants come to mind when you think of R&B and Soul,Sam Cooke,Otis Redding, and the man singing the Beatles standard ,Hey Jude,Wilson Pickett records this and other rough and ready tunes starting with,SAVE ME,HEY JUDE,BACK IN YOUR ARMS,TOE HOLD,NIGHT OWL,A MAN AND A HALF,SEARCH YOUR HEART,and Steppenwolf's,BORN TO BE WILD. Duane Allman takes the lead with a tight back up studio band and the Sweet Inspirations ,all for 'Wicked' Pickett as the gritty singer eases through each song on this short eleven song classic compilation called ,HEY JUDE - minus Mustang Sally and Midnight Hour, Wilson Pickett's,Hey Jude, stands tall on it's own will and power - people make the world,people like Wilson Pickett made the music. Atlantic records,1969,imported from Germany,good audio.

A Fantastic (if not the best) Pickett LP. Great Muscle Shoals musicians and recording. Not a bad song on the whole record. Also includes Duane Allman and Bobby Womack. A first rate late 60's soul lp!!!!!!

Indeed this is Duane Allman on some tracks including Hey Jude and Born to be Wild. When Eric Clapton was asked if he would mind id Allman stopped by the studio he was working at, Clapton responded, you mean the guy that plays the solo on Pickett's Hey Jude? And thus Derek and the Dominoes/Layla was born. Great licks on this album, unfortunately they are very limited and short lived, hence even they can become tedious after a decade or so. But one never gets tired of the emotion in his wailing.
