Hey Mike,
I'm not particularly familiar with Wilson Picket, but I do remember he did a rocking song that featured "na,na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na, na na na na". I'm sure you'll play it but I have no idea what the name of it is. That first song had a section in the middle of it that made me think of it.
He difinitely reminds me of James Brown, or maybe I should say JB reminds me of WP. I don't really know who was around first. He as a really strong voice, as you can hear with the song by The Falcons, and I did realize he mentioned the midnight hour. How old is that recording? Not complaining, I love the sound of it.
"If you need me, call me"...I like that song a lot. What a great, old sound.
Great story about how "The Midnight Hour" came about.
There's the song. He said "let your backbone slip". That's incredible. Why? Because Gene Simmons used that lyric in a song on Kiss' last album, Sonic Boom. There I go connecting Kiss to Wilson Pickett. I think you said the title is "Land Of A Thousand Dances". That's a cool freaking song. And you're right, I never heard the title mentioned in the song. One more thing, a wrestler used that as his theme song years ago, but I can't remember who.
I've heard Mustang Sally before. Didn't know that was WP. "Ride Sally ride". That's an awesome hook right there.
By the way, when I said he reminded me of JB, it's strictly in his inflections. He has a much better pure voice than JB, my opinion of course.
I must say, I didn't expect much here. I'm not a lover of soul music, but this show rocked (in a soulful kind of way).
