Our Take

In the ever-evolving landscape of Americana music, Dan Penn stands out as a true master of the craft. His soulful songwriting and smooth vocals have captivated listeners for decades, and on "A Road Leading Home - Songs By Dan Penn," a stellar cast of artists pay tribute to the legendary songwriter.

From the moment you press play, you can feel the reverence and admiration that each artist brings to Penn's timeless tunes. Whether it's John Hiatt's bluesy take on "Dark End of the Street" or Shelby Lynne's haunting rendition of "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man," each track is a heartfelt homage to Penn's enduring legacy.

But what truly sets this album apart is the unexpected twists and turns that each artist brings to the table. Lucinda Williams injects a dose of gritty rock 'n' roll into "I'm Your Puppet," while Rodney Crowell's stripped-down version of "Like a Road Leading Home" showcases the raw emotion at the heart of Penn's songwriting.

In a music industry oversaturated with cookie-cutter pop and soulless tunes, "A Road Leading Home - Songs By Dan Penn" is a refreshing reminder of the power of authentic, soul-stirring music. So dim the lights, grab a glass of bourbon, and let these songs take you on a journey down the winding road of Dan Penn's extraordinary career.
