Here's a couple early Wilson Pickett cuts from his days with the Ohio Untouchables. Once you're done digging the original version of Pickett singing "I Found A Love", check "Let's Kiss and Make Up" for some seriously twisted licks. The guitar is by Robert Ward, the founder of the band and apparently king of the Magnatone amp. Three online souces cite his tone and choice of amp as being influential, and who am I to argue? I never heard of Magnatone amps until a couple hours ago. But the solo in "Let's Kiss and Make Up"? That's got me going to Robert Ward Town tonight.
