Wilson Pickett - Im in Love '1968

Tracks list

Surely no one was expecting a quiet storm album from Wilson Pickett in 1968, and
that sure isnt what they got with Im in Love, but the Wicked Pickett sounds a
lot more convincing on this albums romantic numbers than anyone would have had a
right to expect from one of the baddest cats of Southern soul. Of course, there
arent all that many romantic ballads here, but Picketts rough-and-ready soul
shouting manages to sound just as convincing on Bring It On Home to Me and That
Kind of Love as he does on the pained Jealous Love and a properly intense rip
through Stagger Lee. Pickett makes the most of the songwriting contributions
from frequent collaborators Bobby Womack and Don Covay, while Tommy Cogbill and
his crew of Muscle Shoals session heavyweights offer music which keeps up with
Pickett for guts, soul, and drive — no small statement, considering
Picketts richly deserved reputation as one of the strongest and most consistent
artists of the period. Like most R&B albums of the period, Im in Love sounds
more like a set of tunes than a unified album, but its a good set of tunes,
performed with Picketts usual high level of passion and skill, and if youre any
kind of fan youll revel in it. ~ Mark Deming
