Anyone know what the track is on that Mercedes advert? Sounds like Wilson Pickett.

Aye, I found it last night but have never seen the advert & didn't think it sounded like Wilson Pickett so didn't post it.

 

Sorry, I'll have another listen to it today.

Thought it did a bit myself as I was trying to thing who it could be, the guitar is boss and definitely sounded like Stax, forgot the name of the track too, good though.

Just The One by Johnnie Taylor.

Land of a 1000 Dances by Wilson Pickett & Muscle Shoals.

Not really a Soul fan by any means, and this song always left a bad taste in my mouth after seeing Odyssey do a half-assed set in Llandudno (? could have been another shit North Wales town). And the song is probably a cliche for white indie pricks, but I fucking love this.

I'm guessing because he had a great sense of humour & could laugh at himself.

 

Check out his Hot Buttered Soul LP, it's class.

Enjoying this album, repped obviously. Looking at the information on it, it appears to have been recorded in 1969 so I wouldn't have thought there would be much looping going on. I wonder if it was recorded in single continuous takes? Epic songs and lots of instrumentation.

There's no looping, as far as I'm aware the majority of it was recorded live.

 

There's an interesting story behind it too, Stax had lost a load of music & had to make a lot of records quickly, Hayes got the call & produced Hot Buttered Soul.

Stax is the record label?

Aye & Isaac Hayes was one of the main men there but not really a singer/frontman until Hot Buttered Soul.

Really? That was his first recording as a singer/frontman? Straight off the bat.

I think it's his second LP, his first one didn't really get anywhere as far as I'm aware.

 

There's a great DVD called Respect Yourself about Stax Records, a mate nicked my copy years ago & then denied it, which still pisses me off.
