Liner Note Author: Bob Rolontz.
This 12-track compilation from Collectables brings together a fine selection of cuts featuring Wilson Pickett doing what he does best: kicking up gritty Southern soul in style. While the collection sidesteps "In the Midnight Hour" and "Land of a 1000 Dances," it does include "Mustang Sally" and a few fierce renditions of soul classics like "Knock on Wood." As usual, Pickett proves himself an excellent interpreter of others' material, with Don Covay's "Three Time Loser," Bobby Womack's "Nothing You Can Do," and Norman Meade's "Time Is On My Side" among the highlights.
