For those unaware, co-writer of such classic Country, Soul and Pop classics such as Do Right Woman, Cry Like a Baby, I’m Your Puppet, Out of Left Field, and Dark End of The Street, Dan Penn spends his time these days retrieving, dusting off, and occasionally releasing lost gems from his many songwriting sessions.

Having made only a handful of albums over the course of his long career, his demo session recordings have become legendary primarily because of the versatility and range of his voice, and its ability to sell a song. They have long been sought after by enthusiasts and collectors, and more and more of these tracks have seen the light of day over the past decade.

1. Smoke Filled Room
2. One Blue Light

5. The Longest Day
6. Leave It Like You Found It
7. Battling The Blues
8. Crazy Ol Girl
9. Hellbound Snowball
10. Let Love Begin With Me
11. Creator Of All Things

On what is an affectingly dutiful new recording, Dan opens on the ambiently smooth Smoke Filled Room and the emotional One Blue Light and they are then backed by the low slung Blues Of The Month Club, the veritably crystalline There’s Nothing Out There, before the all-embracing The Longest Day is brought forth.

Along next is the softly sung Leave It Like You Found It and the impassioned Battling The Blues, and they are in turn followed seamlessly by the dulcetly sculpted Crazy Ol Girl, the gentle stroll of Hellbound Snowball, the set rounding out on the quietly melodious Let Love Begin With Me, coming to a close on the languishing beauty of Creator Of All Things.
