Editorial Reviews

Two unsung heroes of modern soul music are captured here live in performance. Both together and individually, they had a major hand in the R&B music sound of the 1960's and beyond, having written songs like "Do Right Woman" for Aretha Franklin and "Cry Like a Baby" for the Box Tops. This intimate set includes those two as well as "I'm Your Puppet", "Dark End of the Street" and many more.

If you are familiar with Penn and Oldham, you know already that they are one of the finest songwriting duos of all time. But they were also VERY accomplished musicians and performers, not just two guys writing songs in a dusty corner of some recording studio. For a taste of Penn and Oldham performing their own material, pick up "Moments From This Theater", a fabulous recording of small-venue shows that they did in the UK back in the late 1990s. Many of their best-loved hits are included on this single disc, along with little known gems such as "Memphis Women and Chicken." Penn and Oldham have the crowd enthralled with their heartfelt performance, using only piano and guitar. This is a true musical love-fest. Fans will obviously relish this one, but this CD also is a good starting point for anyone wanting to know why these guys are so revered.

Pennmanship

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2010

Like Jimmy Webb, Dan Penn will never get the credit he deserves. But unlike Webb, Penn's are the best interpretations of his own songs. This is in part because he sings like David Hidalgo. But unfortunately R&B writers of his era were confined to Tin Pan Alley songsmithing--even after rock went through its singer-songwriter era, when writing and performing merged. If not for this, Penn might have been the soul version of Dylan. Rather than feel bad for him, think how tough it must have been for the singer listening to his demos with an ear toward re-recording them. Final versions are canned and dispassionate compared to Penn's.

This live album is played on two instruments, so it's mellow. For more fleshed-out versions, buy "Do Right Man." Both are great--especially for dinner parties and good-vibe evenings at home.

Soul music's jukebox treasure

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2009

These songwriter-singers (it's reversed in their case) have written for or been covered by Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge, The Box Tops, James Carr, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, James and Bobby Purify... and the list goes on. Find out what these folks saw in this songwriting team. The record comes across as a new genre: Soul-folk or, better, acoustic soul, with the emphasis on soulfulness. Accompaniments are modest (acoustic guitar and keyboards), and the effect is as warm and intimate as the writing. If you like any of the above listed performers or recognize and like the songs, you'll probably love this CD. Other similar music that, if you like it, might mean you like this: Dylan of Nashville Skyline or Blood on the Tracks periods, Van Morrison, Al Green, The Beatles' most gentle tracks from Help!, Rubber Soul, [added: Revolver], the White Album, Let It Be or Abby Road, Niel Young from Harvest or Comes a Time, and maybe Carol King from Tapestry. Enough said. --mbazin

Dan Penn ... Heartfelt & Soulful Songwriter!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2006

I was fortunate enough to see Dan Penn perform solo (opening act for the brilliant Hacienda Brothers) in a small club in Philadelphia last night, and he held the audience completely spellbound for his entire set. Penn has written several heartfelt and soulful songs over the years (many are hidden gems), and his guitar talent and vocal abilities are very touching and bring out the best in each song. Several of the songs on this CD with Spooner Oldham were played by Penn last night, and they were all terrific ... some touching and some funny ... and all played with his total heart and soul with such natural ease. My favorites from this CD with Spooner Oldham that Penn played solo last night were the tender and romantic "I'm Your Puppet", the upbeat "I Met Her In Church", the heartaching song "It Tears Me Up", the sensitive and touching tribute to seniors "Ol' Folks", and the downright funny "Memphis Women & Chicken" which contains clever and comical lyrics. I was deeply impressed by Dan Penn, and consider him to be a brilliant songwriter and underrated and naturally gifted performer. Needless to say, I am buying this CD now!

Nice to have but not essential collection.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 8, 2015

Lovers of white Southern soul will need no introduction to these two performers and the separate Ace releases of the songbook of these two writers have reminded us of what a great contribution they have made in hits across the years.

However sadly great songwriters do not necessarily great performers make. This CD recorded across a 1998 UK tour in various intimate small venues is certainly laid back as many have commented. With a very simple keyboards by Spooner Oldham and guitar and vocals by Dan Penn set up, a selection of their key hits is performed impeccably. However when compared with the more emotional and soulful originals one is left feeling by the end of 14 tracks, it is all sounds very samey - truly enjoyable and easy on the ear but not outstandingly memorable.

For completists definitely but if you are new to the songs I would suggest the recent Ace release of Penn & Oldham songs by other artists who had the original hits is the better choice.

Deep Soul!

With just acoustic guitar and electric piano, Messrs. Penn and Oldham have produced a superbly soulful album, which is ideal for late night listening. If anyone says white men can't sing blues and soul, they obviously have not heard Dan Penn!
I can't believe part of this album was recorded in a little village hall in South Petherton, Somerset - obviously UK's answer to Alabama!
