Wilson Picket - In The Midnight Hour (1965) & The Exciting Wilson Pickett (1966) [2016]

Wilson Picket - In The Midnight Hour (1965) & The Exciting Wilson Pickett (1966) [2016] @320

His debut LP "In The Midnight Hour" is chock-full of singles and their equally cool flipsides. Winners include June 1965's classic floor-filler "In The Midnight Hour" b/w "I'm Not Tired" on Atlantic 45-2289 (his first R&B No. 1) – November 1965's "Don't Fight It" b/w "It's All Over" on Atlantic 45-2306 (R&B No. 4) and February 1966's "634-5789 (Soulsville, U.S.A.)" b/w "That's A Man's Way" on Atlantic 45-2320 (his second R&B No. 1). Before that trio struck gold - Atlantic Records had tried "I'm Gonna Cry" b/w "For Better Or Worse" in June 1964 on Atlantic 45-2233 – following that in January 1965 with "Come Home Baby" b/w "Take A Little Love" on Atlantic 45-2271 – but neither took.

After "In The Midnight Hour" (the third single around the LP) slaughtered all in its path – Pickett's high octane strident Soul mirrored his nickname 'wicked' – and almost everything he released was met with excitement second only to Otis Redding and Solomon Burke – the two other great shouters on Atlantic's classy books. The huge bass and drum opening to "Ninety Nine And A Half (Won't Do)" led the assault for the second LP in early May 1966 - Atlantic 45-2334 stalling at No. 13 with the album cut "Danger Zone" as its B-side. Perhaps it was the slower slinky groove in "Ninety Nine..." that saw it not puncture the Top 10 - no such worries for the album's other monster "Land Of 1000 Dances". Released only weeks later in July 1966 and backed with his cover of the 1959 Falcons ballad "You're So Fine" - Atlantic 45-2348 quickly made mincemeat of the charts and raced to No. 1 - his third chart topper.

Part of a reissue like this is the undiscovered LP cuts that never get the attention they deserve - "It's All Over" was penned by Picket with his pal Steve Cropper - the guitarist in Booker T & The MG's. Everything about it rocks - the slow Soulful groove - the piano playing and Pickett's distinctive growl given full reign as he pleads with the listener to feel his pain. And not for the first time will he reach to Bobby Womack for a stone-cold killer like "She's So Good To Me" (he penned "Midnight Mover" on the next twofer). It's interesting also to note the subtle differences between the LP and edit of "Don't Fight It" - another great hooky brass-driving sanctifier. The "Come Home Baby" duet with Tami Lynn is a bit rough around the edges recording-wise - but its full of emotion and 60ts passion. Better is another Pickett/Cropper composition - the stroller "I'm Not Tired" - in the fact the man had his songwriting hand in 9 of the LPs 12 cuts. (Mark at the flicks)

Donovan - 1966 - Sunshine Superman (Stereo Special Edition) (2011)

Donovan - 1966 - Sunshine Superman (Stereo Special Edition) (2011) @320

Forty-five years after the 1966 US release of Donovan’s trailblazing Sunshine Superman album, this expanded reissue coincides with a celebratory, anniversary-marking Royal Albert

Hall appearance, and a sympathetic new stereo mix allows the songs to flex as never before.

(The original mono mix comprises Disc Two.)

A labyrinthine web of circumstances led Sunshine Superman into sounding the way it did in the first place. In terms of subject matter, it simultaneously mourns the absence of his future wife, Linda Lawrence – pursuing a modelling career in the US at that time – while softly and persuasively beckoning her to return. The decorous Legend Of A Girl Child Linda is immersed in introspection, and a similarly indulgent seam of sumptuous melancholy runs through Celeste. Conversely, the recreational habits of a young hash-head pop star with a freshly acquired LSD fascination inform wantonly unconcealed compositions such as The Trip and The Fat Angel. Taken in tandem, everything significantly points towards manifestations of love, peace and an expansion of the universal consciousness…

Key also is the intervention of producer Mickie Most and arranger John Cameron, who, from Sunshine Superman onwards, would work with Donovan until the close of the 60s. Most’s

vulpine pop instincts stimulated Donovan’s creativity, while Cameron’s fearlessness as an arranger rationalised a heady brew of influences encompassing beat poetry, Celtic folk, boho jazz, chamber music and mainstream pop. In the new mix, harpsichord and string bass tickle the cochlea on the title track and wide-eyed Swinging London paean Sunny South

Kensington, one of a welter of bonus tracks including the vastly superior first takes of ’67- era songs Museum and Epistle To Dippy. Shawn Phillips’ sitar describes serpentine convolutions across Ferris Wheel and Three Kingfishers, while Season Of The Witch gains an ambient extra dimension in its tense spaciousness.

Lee Dorsey - 1966 - Working In The Coal Mine - Holy Cow

Lee Dorsey - 1966 - Working In The Coal Mine - Holy Cow @320

Less than a year had passed between this and Lee Dorsey's previous LP, Ride Your Pony, and Allen Toussaint was again the prime creative force, writing material and co-producing. The sound, however, had definitely taken a step in a funkier direction. It's still lighthearted, though not lightweight, soul music with a New Orleans bounce, paced by the Top Ten hit "Working in a Coal Mine" and also including the Top 30 follow-up "Holy Cow." Other than those hit singles, the songs, though not exactly throwaways, aren't up to the same level. (AllMusic)

Lee Dorsey - 1966 -Ride Your Pony - Get Out Of My Life Woman @ 320

 

Aside from the title track and the oft-covered, ultrafunky "Get Out of My Life, Woman," none of the 12 songs on this early 1966 album are familiar to most listeners. As it turns out, it's a quality full-length bridging early-'60s New Orleans R&B with soul, even if the songs tend to be on the light partying side. That's part of the main draw of much New Orleans music, of course, and few were better at projecting a relaxed sense of fun than Lee Dorsey. It helped that all but two of the songs were written by co-producer Allen Toussaint; the Crescent City giant doesn't get nearly as much attention as Smokey Robinson, but as with Smokey, one wonders if Toussaint ever slept in the 1960s, so prolific and generally fine was his output.
