 (1 Customer Review)
The Midnight Mover, issued in 1968, was one of a pair of albums Wilson Pickett issued that year produced by the mighty Tom Dowd. The title track, a signature growler, was written by Wilson with Bobby Womack. The other includes "I Found a True Love," issued earlier in two parts on 1967's The Sound of Wilson Pickett. Womack wrote about half the set. The Midnight Mover is one of the more diverse offerings of Pickett's from the 1960s. It contains the roughshod soul of the title cut, and in his bizarre, psycho soul performance of "Deborah," the intro and verse of which are sung in Italian! There are also brilliant ballad performances in "It's a Groove," "Down by the Sea," and "Trust Me." Add to this the set closer, the gospel-driven "For Better or Worse." There is also the deep, funky, rock-drenched, snake-hipped anthem "We Got to Get an Understanding." While The Sound of Wilson Pickett is his classic of the decade, The Midnight Mover is simply a monster of an album. ~ Thom Jurek
Personnel: Wilson Pickett (vocals).

Midnight Mover
 $6.39   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously close to a lounge version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing," but this minor faux pas is redeemed by ...
| | Exciting Wilson Pickett CD (1966)
Midnight Mover
$9.79
Recorded in Memphis, Tennessee and Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1965 and 1966. Originally relased on Atlantic (8129). Includes liner notes by A. Scott Galloway.
Let's be frank--Wilson Pickett's voice could strip the chrome off a Buick. Gritty, raw, and capable of emphatic shrieks and woeful moans, Pickett's voice is, in some ways, the paragon of Southern soul style. More consistent and packed with hits than its predecessor, IN THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, THE EXCITING WILSON PICKETT showcases the man's formidable vocal talents to the point of near perfection.
Two Chris Kenner songs--the blazing, dance-floor-filling "Land of 1000 Dances" (a certified soul classic) and the sprightly groove-laden "Something You Got"-- kick off the set. Pickett co-wrote much of the material here with Stax staff member Steve Cropper, among others. The timeless "In the Midnight Hour" (presented here in its single version) and the mid-tempo jam "Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won't Do)" are two such collaborative highlights. The great Don Covay-Ronald Miller tune "Mercy, Mercy" and Robert Parker's driving "Barefootin'" are included here, too, making THE EXCITING ...

Midnight Mover
$24.79

So we get not only his mid-1960s work with burgeoning blues-rock giants like Paul Rodgers and Steve ...

| | Prince Hits 2 CD (1993)
Midnight Mover
$11.55 
THE HITS 2 includes a booklet with photography by Herb Ritts, plus extensive liner notes by Alan Leeds, and track annotations about previously unreleased material.
Upon their release in 1993, the shorthand descriptors were that THE HITS ONE contained the "clean" songs while THE HITS TWO had all the "dirty" stuff. It's not quite so simple. Such songs as "Controversy" delve into politics; "Purple Rain" and "I Would Die 4 U" explore Prince's deeply felt religious iconography. And, with only rare exceptions, Prince's songs tend to be more teasing and erotic than blatant. Even the most outrageous tunes, like "Head," have a sly wit that marks them as much more than Penthouse Forum titillation material. Bottom line: these 18 tracks are the very pinnacle of '80s and early '90s pop-funk. THE HITS TWO contains two previously unreleased tracks, the funky "Peach" and the calculated-to-shock "Pope." This disc and its companion volume are also available as a box set with an essential bonus third disc of b-sides.

| | No Use For A Name Feel Good Record Of The Year CD (2008)
Midnight Mover
$6.65
With an unassailable punk rock pedigree earned from over 20 years in the trenches, No Use For a Name could be excused for taking a nice long break, but the journeyman act continues to endure here. THE FEEL GOOD RECORD OF THE YEAR is another in a long line of fine pop-punk LPs, with neither half of the equation neglected. Bittersweet melodies and choruses subtly color otherwise sturdy buzz saws with golden California sun. "I Want to Be Wrong" captures the secret melancholy of the Everly Brothers without resorting to retro costuming, and "Ontario" is a surprisingly ...
