The Crossroad ( MUSIC )

[murrayhill]

That recording further cemented Pickett's reputation
as one of the greats of the idiom. I was really fortunate to see him at The Apollo, where he performed
this one (a big hit at the time), Mustang Sally. Six three four, and a bunch of others w/o any ballads!
It wasn't until some years later that I heard the original recording of the tune by Chris Kenner.
Like so much of the great music from the golden era of soul music, it came out of New Orleans!
Happy New Year, man.
