WILSON PICKETT
It's Harder Now (Bullseye)
Reviewed by Shaun Dale

---

This is the shit. Wilson Pickett, the real Wilson Pickett. Not the shadow of Wilson Pickett who was subject to major label homogenization in the eighties. This is the wicked, wicked Wilson Pickett - the one who got more butts moving on more dance floors and had more sweat pouring from teenage pores than anyone before or since. The man whose best was the best there ever was at his best.

As I said, this is the shit.

There are eleven new tracks here, performed, in the master's own words, "by actual musicians in real time." Eleven tracks where the playing counts more than the production. Eleven smokin', sweaty, soulful tracks of raw emotional power.

Enough talk. Buy this CD. Put it on. Dance 'til you drop.

Track List: Outskirts Of Town * Taxi Love * What's Under That Dress? * Stomp * Soul Survivor * It's Harder Now * It Ain't Easy * Bad People * All About Sex * Better Him Than Me * Stone Crazy World
