For anyone but session-counting completists, A MAN AND A HALF should serve as the be-all, end-all Wilson Pickett collection. With two discs, 44 tracks, musical support from Memphis and Muscle Shoals session players, and songs by numerous fellow luminaries (including Steve Cropper, Don Covay, Eddie Floyd, Isaac Hayes, and Bobby Womack), this set brings together some of the finest soul sides recorded in the 20th century. Of course, it is Wicked Pickett"s riveting, gravel-filled voice that makes it all happen.
Arranged chronologically, A MAN AND A HALF begins with "I Found a Love" (a 1961 single from Pickett"s first band, the Falcons) and ends with a live version of "Funky Broadway" (performed at a "71 concertin Ghana). In between are such unassailable classics as thechugging "Mustang Sally", the call-and-response dance anthem "Land of 1000 Dances", and the soulster"s signature tune--"In the Midnight Hour". The set is devoid of filler; the non-hit singles are of amazing quality and even Pickett"s gritty reading of "Hey Jude" (with Duane Allman on guitar) has its unique charms. This is an indisputable cornerstone of any soul lover"s collection.
