MOG Editorial Review

With a gruff set of pipes that sound just as comfortable with dance numbers as heartbreaking ballads, "wicked" Pickett was at the peak of an incredible string of albums when he crafted The Sound of Wilson Pickett in 1967. Starting off with a danceable one-two of "Soul Dance Number Three" and "Funky Broadway," Pickett lifts up your spirits before putting listeners in a reflective mood, starting with the two-part "I Found a Love" before cheering up the heartbroken on "You Can't Stand Alone." By the time you finish The Sound of Wilson Pickett, you'll have found a soundtrack to your love life whether you're feeling down, sorry, or ready to dance with joy, a classic soul revue if there ever was one.
AMG Review of Sound of Wilson Pickett

All Music Guide

The Sound of Wilson Pickett was one of the three albums Atlantic issued by the Wicked One in 1967. Produced by Jerry Wexler (who got co-writes on a couple of tracks), it featured great session players like Chips Moman and Spooner Oldham, to name just two. Looking at the track list, it looks like a slew of hits. But it wasn't. In fact, it was two sides packed with singles. While it contains his absolutely classic, wailing read of "Funky Broadway," it also features both parts of "I Found a Love" (renamed "I Found a True Love" for the 1968 album The Midnight Mover), the Oldham and Dan Penn suggestive classic "I Need a Lot of Loving Everyday." Pickett's reading of the song with a killer female backing chorus smolders with nocturnal nether-hipped fire. Pickett's version of Rudy Clark's swaggering "You Can't Stand Alone" is a burning throw-down with awesome guitar and horn charts and a killer little Farfisa break in the middle. He also sings the deep Memphis blues on "Something Within Me." The set closes with one of his finest performances, his signature reading of "Love Is a Beautiful Thing." Arguably, The Sound of Wilson Pickett may be his finest album performance of the entire decade.
