C&L's Late Nite Music Club With Wilson Pickett

Smokin' lightning with Wicked Mr. Pickett
By Dale Merrill — November 19, 2019

In late 1968 and early 1969, Wilson Pickett went into Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama to work on tracks for his 8th album Hey Jude.

Playing guitar on the tracks was a young session guitarist by the name of Duane Allman. Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section member Jimmy Johnson went on to claim that the album, and especially Allman's playing on it, as the beginning of Southern Rock.
