Hey Jude (Wilson Pickett album)

The title track, a cover of the Beatles song of the same name, was a success, peaking at #13 on the Billboard R&B singles chart and #23 on the top 200.

Also released as a single was a cover of Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild", which was less successful.

Pickett is also backed by members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section on the album.

Rhythm Section member Jimmy Johnson later credited Allman's performance on this album as the beginning of Southern Rock.
