Wonderful collection that serves as a tribute to the writing genius of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham - two of the greatest country-soul writers of the 60s and 70s. Penn and Oldham made a name for themselves in more recent times on the back of international touring, which resulted in a live album together. Oldham is also well known as Neil Young's long time keyboard player. Many great writers emerged out of the Muscle Shoals music scene of the 1960s but few of them made quite the impact on popular music of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham. Prolific together and apart, the two men are responsible for innumerable Hall-Of-Fame classics.
