Dan Penn ... Heartfelt & Soulful Songwriter!.......2006-07-18

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!

It tears me up!.......2006-02-18

Soul music knows no greater friends than Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham. The wrenching vocal on 'It Tears Me Up' does exactly that, while the spare arrangements lend a poignancy to these songs that is missing from the more famous versions. This is music to break up/make up/make love by. I toyed with the idea of buying this CD for a long time before buying it. Shame on me! I won't be dithering about buying anything else these two have done, I got the plastic out and ready!

This has it all.......2005-12-10

Some of the greatest songs ever written. I mean, "Memphis women and chicken" - doesn't that say it all? And, "Dark End of the Street" - if that song cut any deeper, you'd have to have a transfusion to listen to it...

Beautiful, spare versions by the songwriters - it doesn't get any more heartfelt and direct.

And, if "Old Folks" doesn't make you a little misty, you should check your ticker - it might be missing.

The Amazing Work of Two Tremendous Talents.......2005-10-16

This is an album that Southern Soul masters Penn and Spooner recorded live, during an unusual tour of small venues, and what a gem it is. I believe that you will find at least one song here which has already moved your heart, and -call it an injustice that these men may not be worshipped beyond certain circles- you may not even know that one of them wrote it.
For me, "Cry Like A Baby" or "Do Right Woman, " "I'm Your Puppet" or "The Dark End Of The Street" are enough to vow, be quiet, and listen. Even if you still loved the versions that made these tunes unforgetable, you'll appreciate their spare beauty and may rediscover the depth of Penn and Oldham's songwriting.
The playing, only piano and guitar, are a treat in its own right. Oldham does not have to play that many notes to wow you with his deep sense of melody, and Penn -not the most gifted singer ever- sings sincerely enough to satisfy angels.
This is a very special album, perhaps not everyone may see it or be drawn to Southern Soul, but I risk to bet that no one seriously interested in popular music would miss to feel the mood and depth of these renditions.

I have NOT listened to this recording, BUT..........2005-05-19

...I was fortunate enough to see Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham at the Bluebird in Nashville a few years back. The mere thought of that show still gives me goosebumps, so I can't wait to get this CD. Should be great. I've never lied to you before. Unless we dated years ago.

A "must" for fans of southern soul music!.......2000-05-09

Peter Guralnick calls Dan Penn the "secret hero" of his book "Sweet Soul Music," and in a way Penn is as essential to understanding soul music as listening to Aretha or Percy Sledge (two artists who covered Penn's work). Penn and Spooner Oldham labored for some harsh taskmasters, like Fame's Rick Hall and Atlantic's Jerry Wexler, but they managed to write and produce tunes that sound effortless in their construction. Listen to Penn's hit for the Boxtops, "Cry Like A Baby," or "I'm Your Puppet," his hit for the Purify brothers that launched the Muscle Shoals recording industry -- they sound like tunes that have been around forever, just drifting in the ether, waiting for Penn to hear them and write them down. But don't take my word for it -- buy this record, right now! You'll listen to it over and over again.

A rich selection of evocative music.......2003-03-10

This collection of the favourite music of horror author Clive Barker is a real treat, with elegant packaging that incorporates his sinister paintings. It's certainly eclectic, ranging from movie soundtracks to classical pieces to showtunes, but what all the tracks have in common is a romantic, wishful flavour.

This is what unites pieces as diverse as Perry Como's clean-cut `Magic Moments', Diamanda Galás' abrasive `Dancing in the Dark', and classical pieces by Rachmaninov, Fauré and Sibelius. Taken as a whole, this selection shines a fascinating light on Barker's vivid imagination and the music that inspires it.

A number of the pieces are taken from film soundtracks. Some of these are orchestral - two tracks from Hammer's fantasy movie `She', a piece by Danny Elfman from the soundtrack to Barker's own `Nightbreed'. Others are songs from movie musicals - Fred Astaire's `The Way You Look Tonight', a suite of songs from Disney's `Dumbo', a couple of numbers from `South Pacific', Judy Garland singing `Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'. Stage musicals get a look-in too, with selections from `Candide' and `Sweeney Todd'.

There are interesting sleevenotes by Barker in which he explains his selection, and describes the tracks as `emotional pieces: sentimental, lush, dramatic, melodramatic'. This album is an ideal companion to Barker's books, plays, films and paintings, well worth buying if you're a fan of his, but also an interesting selection in its own right.

Clive's painting music.......2002-05-27

A "songbook series" devoted to both music and text, these small hardcovers with picture discs are a nifty idea. Fabulist fiction writer Clive Barker presents some marvelous possibilities for his entry, a 24 page book with paintings by the author as well as Clive's track-by-track commentary. Clive has selected 16 tracks for the CD as well as a few of his works of art for visuals. Very hard to find, the British import CD nevertheless includes tracks that can be found elsewhere.

Those expecting Clive to serve up aural delirium will be quite surprised at some of his choices. Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, Perry Como, Shirley Horn, and a selection from Disney's _Dumbo_ might be shocking coming from the man who has written stories like "The Midnight Meat Train" and _The Damnation Game_. Perhaps only a spot of Danny Elfman's music to Clive's film _Nightbreed_, a double shot of music from the Hammer film version of Haggard's _She_, and "Johanna" from Sondheim's _Sweeney Todd_ point to Clive's more traditional tastes. Everywhere else lighthearted fare is to be found-- visions of paradise, Christmas songs, and other gentle, playful, yet quite listenable tunes. Faure's _Requiem_ and Diamanda Galas' version of "Dancing in the Dark," both pieces of music from the last Clive film _Lord of Illusions_, make appearances, as well as parts of Bernstein's _Candide_ and Rodgers' & Hammerstein's _South Pacific_. Without doubt the strongest pieces are classical ones: Rachmaninoff's 1st movement from his 2nd Piano Concerto in C Minor and Sibelius' 3rd movement from Symphony #5 in E Flat.

The CD reflects music Clive listens to while painting, and for those who want a more intimate picture of one of the greatest imaginers alive, this selection will begin to answer the question of what Clive plays when he has brush in hand.
