Dan Penn
CD The Last Music Company
Back in the sixties he was is a great example of his simple verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus form, with hooks galore. He’s got a decent band backing him up including a tight horn section giving everything a Muscle Shoals gritty authenticity. is a sweet tale of longing that suits his languid vocals. The sturdy country/soul is a case study in simple songwriting – what you’d expect from a 78-year-old with soul running through his veins.
