Our Take

Wilson Pickett, the man with the voice that could make even the most stoic person break out in a hip-shaking dance. His early years are captured in the compilation "Let Me Be Your Boy," showcasing his raw talent and infectious energy from 1957 to 1962.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a time when soul music was just beginning to emerge as a force to be reckoned with. Pickett's gritty vocals and undeniable charisma shine through on tracks like "Let Me Be Your Boy" and "My Heart Belongs to You," proving that he was a star in the making.

The album is a mix of upbeat, danceable tunes and heartfelt ballads that showcase Pickett's versatility as a singer. Whether he's belting out a soulful love song or getting the party started with a lively track, Pickett's passion for music is palpable in every note.

While the production quality may not be up to modern standards, the rawness of these recordings only adds to their charm. You can almost imagine yourself sitting in a smoky club, watching Pickett give it his all on stage.

Overall, "Let Me Be Your Boy" is a must-listen for any fan of soul music or anyone looking to add some vintage flair to their playlist. Wilson Pickett may have been young and hungry during these early years, but his talent was undeniable. This compilation is a testament to his enduring legacy in the music industry.
