Chart History/Awards
– Reached #3 on Billboard‘s Top R&B Albums.

Pickett’s sophomore album, The Exciting Wilson Pickett established him as a bona fide ‘60s soul superstar. The album charted at #3 on Billboard’s Top R&B albums and highlights the hits “Land of 1000 Dances,” “Ninety-Nine And One-Half (Won’t Do)” and “In The Midnight Hour.” The album also includes the R&B standards “Something You Got,” “Mercy, Mercy” and “Barefootin’.” Pickett’s gritty vocal talents made him one of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Singers of All Time.” The Exciting Wilson Pickett is a mesmerizing album of soul music by one of the genre’s very best.

Less of a hodgepodge than his debut album, In the Midnight Hour, Pickett’s second album established — if there had been any doubt — his stature as a major ’60s soul man. The 12 tracks include his monster hits “634-5789,” “Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won’t Do),” “In the Midnight Hour,” and “Land of 1000 Dances” (the last of which was his first Top Ten pop hit). Collectors will be more interested in the non-hit cuts, which are of nearly an equal level. These include covers of the R&B standards “Something You Got,” “Mercy Mercy,” and “Barefootin'”; several original tunes written in collaboration with Memphis soul greats Steve Cropper, Eddie Floyd, and David Porter; and Bobby Womack’s “She’s So Good to Me.” It all adds up to one of the most consistent ’60s soul albums ever. ~~AllMusic Review by Richie Unterberger
