4.0 out of 5 stars Pickett's Prime!, October 4, 2002

This review is from: In the Midnight Hour (Audio CD)

I love this album! Half of the material documents Mr. Pickett's brief affair with Stax Records and its legendary house band Booker T.& the MG's. This is the team responsible for countless classics such as Otis Redding's "Dock of the Bay", Sam and Dave's anthemic "Soul Man", Eddie Floyd's "Knock on Wood", as well as their own "Green Onions". Here, they add to their legacy by co-authoring with Pickett yet another soul staple, "In the Midnight Hour".The remaining half of the album showcases the artist before the fame and professionalism of "Midnight Hour"- the raw and formative years, if you will. The club years. All of the songs on the album are well crafted and the performances inspired. Throughout both phases of this collection, Pickett's patented scream and fierce delivery are in full formation. A must have for any fan of 60's memphis soul!
