Wilson Pickett -- The Sound Of ...

  The unmistakable Sound Of Wilson Pickett is hard to miss and even harder not to dig, and if you're not diggin' it, then forget you man!  First of all the only chart topper is a cover of Dyke and the Blazers's Funky Broadway, which reached #1, but c'mon man, what does Dyke get?  Unlike Motown Soul music, Pickett's Southern Soul sound is drenched in blues, especially the b-side of this album, which I was diggin' pretty hard last night, chillin' with the dog, having a bluesy relax, and those tunes were mostly all penned by Bobby Womack, who has done his rounds on the scene.  Point is, no one should miss The Sound Of Wilson Pickett, because there's nothing quite like it.
