Recenzii
Fletcher's account [...] is enthralling and rigorously researched ... [A] captivating book.
Descriptions of both process and the end product are exemplary and he analyses important recordings with a musicians ear.
Fletcher's account of this fractious and extraordinary man is enthralling and rigorously researched ... captivating book.
a captivating account of the wild, pugnacious and swaggering soul singer Wilson Pickett.
Fletcher's analysis and descriptions of Pickett's music are enthralling ... he does what any good music biographer should, and sends the reader back to the records.
261 enthralling pages ... a good account of his life.
Beautifully written, especially when describing the classic songs, and vividly underpinned by civil rights developments and enthralling insights into Pickett's sharecropping background, the Wicked's first biography is destined to be the definitive work.
we have the perfect match; the music biographer with an eye for the fine detail and a gift for making songs come to life on the page and the multi-million selling Soul legend ... an authoritative study of the development of one of the finest singers of any generation ... ony Fletcher has delivered a long overdue and forensic assessment of arguably the greatest of all soul singers. It is highly recommended as essential reading for anyone with an interest in not only the flawed genius himself, but also the society that made him and the developing music industry within which he carved out a unique niche.
Compelling stuff.
an assured and illuminating book on the great soul singer ... a lively and entertaining read
beautifully written
Fletcher's vibrant book brings Pickett and his music to glorious life.
This biography of soul singer Wilson Pickett is distinctive for its voluminous and nonjudgmental accounting of his life, from early childhood on, and of the complex early days of rhythm and-blues recording. In a book remarkable for its copious family research, Fletcher, a true devotee of the music, gives us the complete Pickett, more so than Mark Ribowsky did for Otis Redding, or James McBride has done for James Brown.
[In the Midnight Hour] is biography at its best: anecdotal, comprehensive, captivating and concise.

Notă biografică
Tony Fletcher is the best-selling author of major biographies on Keith Moon, the Smiths, and R.E.M., as well as a memoir, a novel, and a history of the New York City music scene. Born in northern England, and raised in South London, where he started his own music magazine at the age of thirteen, he emigrated to New York City in the late 1980s. When not traveling with his family, he makes his home near Woodstock in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. (A contributor to Salon and the Wall Street Journal, his writing has also appeared in Mojo, Rolling Stone, the New York Times, Spin, Newsday and countless other publications.)
