''The Exciting Wilson Pickett'', released in 1966, was the second album by R&B and soul singer Wilson Pickett. The album charted at #3 on Billboard's "black albums" chart and #21 on their chart of "pop albums." According to All Music, this second album firmly established Picket's "stature as a major '60s soul man". The album launched four major hits for Pickett, but All Music emphasizes that the non-hit cuts, "of nearly an equal level", will be of more interest to collectors.

Originally released on the Atlantic label, the album has been re-issued on CD by Rhino, Collectables and Warner Bros. Records. In 2007, a new LP edition was released by the label 4 Men with Beards. - Wikipedia
