Post Description

A tremendous discovery in soul music – previously unreleased demos from the 
legendary Dan Penn – one of the key songwriters in the Fame Studios/Muscle 
Shoals scene of the 60s! Dan's tunes had an undeniable impact on southern soul 
for decades to come – yet Penn hardly issued any singles himself – just sang on 
these in-house recordings as a way of demonstrating the strength of his songs! 
Yet Penn's vocals are amazing – as raspy and soulful as any of the big names 
who recorded his work – and backed here by superb Fame support by the core 
combo of Spooner Oldham on piano and organ, Jimmy Johnson on guitar, and 
Roger Hawkins on drums. 

The Fame Recordings includes 24 numbers Penn recorded at Fame Studios in 
Muscle Shoals, Alabama between 1964 and 1966, all but one of which has never 
before been released
