Soul shaker Wilson Pickett delivered one of his most versatile recordings in 1968 with the release of "The Midnight Mover".

Included are the outstanding ballads, “It’s A Groove”, “Trust Me,” and “Down By The Sea”. Truly one of his funkiest releases, the album is a pivotal collection of astounding gems by the soul innovator.

"Touch Your Woman" is the ninth solo studio album by American country entertainer Dolly Parton. The title song was a top ten country single for Parton in early 1972. The album was produced by Bob Ferguson and, as was generally the case with Parton's early albums for RCA Records, contained mostly Parton's own compositions, along with a couple of covers. This may be the very moment where Dolly Parton emerges as a masterclass singer. Goosebump-inducing vocal trills elevate an already excellent composition. Listen closely, and you can hear the styles of Reba McEntire and Lee Ann Womack being born.

Written over a course of two years, the album is a masterful landscape of chords, shimmering guitar lines, melodies, rhythms and textures, meant to be experienced as a singular vision.
