Pickett - Live Album Recorded November/December 2003. Click on album cover to purchase. Recorded over two shows in late 2003, The Wicked Piano Pumpin' Pickett
contains 12 live tracks of Ritchie Pickett's soul-stirring Pacific-flavoured country gems. The material stretches back to Honky Tonk Heroes and Lights On from 1984's Gone For Water,
3am Hamilton Sunday Morning from 1998's All Strung Out In A Bunch, and unreleased live favourites such as
Chameleon and The One I Love, both written with Glen Moffatt. Nine of the recordings are from the November 2, 2003, finale show of Pickett's North Island tour with fellow songwriters Moffatt,
Chet O'Connell and Australian cult hero Bill Chambers, at the King's Arms in Auckland. The balance comes from a New Year's Eve gig
with Pickett's regular rhythm section, Simon Elton and Dale O'Sullivan, at Hotel Waihi Beach. Track listing Bonus Tracks * Recorded at Hotel Waihi Beach, New Year's Eve, 2003. All others recorded at King's Arms, November 2, 2003.
