Recorded at the Stax studio in Memphis and then at the Fame studios in Muscle Shoals after the infamously feisty Pickett was banned from Stax, this contains a clutch of his sixties hits including his best known ‘Midnight Hour.. ‘The Exciting…’ is earthy, hard-rocking and swinging R’n’B/soul, with hints of blues in the piano and guitar, the rhythm section up front in the mix and all with Pickett’s raw, raspy vocals testifying throughout. Superb southern soul from one of the genre’s most uncompromising artists.
