The musical legacy of Wilson Pickett is celebrated with this collection of tunes recorded primarily at Wishbone Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Bassist and session artist Scott Ward has long revered the history of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, its musicians and the iconic "Muscle Shoals Sound." Over the years, Ward has worked with and learned from the world class musicians and engineers of the region, many of whom knew Wilson Pickett, wrote with him or played on his biggest records, thus inspiring this record.
Born in Prattville, Alabama and later moving to Detroit during his teens, the late Wilson "Wicked" Pickett (1941 - 2006) got his start singing in the church and later in the gospel group The Violinaires before joining The Falcons and entering the world of secular music in 1959. Later during his tenure with Atlantic Records, Pickett's breakthrough single, "In the Midnight Hour" (1965) was recorded at STAX in Memphis, Tennessee. After three sessions there, he went to FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, where he recorded some of his biggest hits including his remakes of "Mustang Sally" and "Funky Broadway," as well as "Land of 1000 Dances," his biggest pop hit. Pickett was a five-time GRAMMY nominee and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
