Our Take

At the crossroads of sweet soul and Southern charm lies "Sweet Inspiration - The Songs Of Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham," a delightful compilation that pays tribute to two of music's unsung heroes. With a roster of various artists, including legends like Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin, this album is a love letter to the timeless songwriting of Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, you're transported to a world where heartache and hope intertwine in perfect harmony. Each artist brings their own unique flair to the table, infusing classic tracks like "I'm Your Puppet" and "Do Right Woman, Do Right Man" with fresh energy and soul.

The standout moments on this album are truly a sight (or rather, a sound) to behold. Whether it's Percy Sledge's heartbreaking rendition of "It Tears Me Up" or Dusty Springfield's smoky take on "Are You Never Coming Home," each track is a masterclass in storytelling through song.

But what truly sets "Sweet Inspiration" apart is its ability to make you feel like you're right there in the studio, witnessing these timeless songs come to life. It's a testament to the power of great songwriting and collaboration, and a must-listen for any music lover looking to be inspired.

In a world filled with disposable pop hits and forgettable melodies, "Sweet Inspiration - The Songs Of Dan Penn & Spooner Oldham" stands out as a shining example of the enduring power of soulful music. Don't sleep on this one, folks - it's a true gem.
