Featuring NZ's King of Rockin' Country, recorded live in November / December 2003 - a fantastic performance!
Ritchie Pickett's release for 2004 is this live album which puts him firmly back behind the piano for a collection of the choice cuts from his previous albums.
Included on "The Wicked Piano Pumpin' Pickett" is a tender re-working of his outstanding 'Yes, We'll Leave the Lights On' (originally on 'Gone For Water'), along with a handful of previously unreleased songs.
"The Wicked Piano Pumpin' Pickett":
12 tracks of original NZ music, taken from 2 live performances Live at the King's Arms Tavern, Auckland City (November '03) and the Hotel Waihi Beach (New Year's Eve '03).
taken from the albums:
"Gone for Water" 1985 (RCA)
"All Strung Out in a Bunch" 1997 (Boatshed Records)
"Roger the Cabin Boy" (unreleased)
Instead of the promised new studio album, "Roger the Cabin Boy", there appears a Live CD, looking very much like a "Best of..."
From the early hit songs 'Honky Tonk Heroes' (being played on US cable TV, as recorded by Brendan Dugan) and 'Last Night I Let the Bottle Get On Top', to the present day crowd pleasers 'The One I Love' and 'Chameleon', this CD demonstrates Ritchie's versatility as a singer/songwriter.
