Wilson Pickett - In The Midnight hour - 1965

Originally released in 1965, Wilson Pickett's first album is actually just a compilation of various singles and B-sides dating as far back as 1961. Here's the wicked Pickett belting out greasy R&B with the Falcons ("I Found a Love," "Let's Kiss and Make Up") and duetting with Cissy Houston ("Teardrops Will Fall," "Come Home Baby"); he also tries his hand at a bit of Motown-style stomping on "I'm Gonna Cry" and lets a touch of gospel creep into "For Better or Worse." And then, of course, there are his early Stax hits like "Don't Fight It" and the title track. While it may lack a little in the way of cohesiveness, In the Midnight Hour is still an exciting tour through the first phases of the man's career. –Dan Epstein

Wilson Pickett's first Atlantic album, IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, is actually a collection of singles recorded between 1961 and '65 (the year of the record's release). Even on the earliest track, "I Found a Love"–recorded by the Falcons, Pickett's first group, which also featured star-to-be Eddie Floyd–the singer's fierce, gospel-influenced style seems fully formed. Two other singles by the Falcons are included here, as are the R&B hit "Don't Fight It," "I'm Gonna Cry" (co-penned by Don Covay), and numerous tracks with the Stax rhythm section (who helped craft some of the finest soul music of the '60s).

Pickett co-authored almost every song on the collection with a host of other songwriters. One such collaboration was with Stax session guitarist Steve Cropper, which yielded "I'm Not Tired," the aforementioned "Don't Fight It," and the magnificent title track. An all-time soul classic, "In the Midnight Hour" boasts a loping bass line, punchy horn charts, and fiery vocals that have been reverently replicated by thousands of bands. Pickett's original, however, stands untouched. Verging on the brilliance of his follow-up, THE EXCITING WILSON PICKETT, IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR is an excellent sampler of this soulster's early work.

This 1965 album, from the vaults of Atlantic, contains Pickett's early work with the famed Stax rhythm section. Collectables. 2003.
