Dan Penn & Bobby Purify: The Inside Track (CD)

(Last Music Company) 14 tracks, gatefold sleeve, digifile with 16 page booklet

The Inside Track on Bobby Purify traces the journey of one of Dan Penn's recording projects from its original conception to final commercial release, offering listeners a unique behind-the-scenes look at the entire process of songwriting and production from Dan's side of the desk. The CD package includes a sixteen-page booklet with photos and interviews with Dan about the recording process.

Inspired by Solomon Burke's profound rendition of Don't Give Up On Me in 2002, Dan Penn reunited with his co-writers of the Grammy-winning song for a new project. He instinctively knew the team had more great songs in the same vein just waiting to be unearthed, but to dig them up, they needed to take some time to go south and write ... and eat just as well. The demos he recorded during these songwriting sessions with collaborators Carson Whitsett and Bucky Lindsey are a joy to behold, showcasing Dan's voice at its absolute, soulful best. Normally these private tapes would not be released, but when heard alongside the final versions he produced with Bobby Purify, Dan Penn's vision as a producer becomes clear. Dan had identified Bobby as the ideal singer for this next production after getting to know him again after a break of some twenty years. At home in his Nashville studio in 2004, Penn recorded ten new tracks based on the demos, which Jerry Wexler described as "Bobby Purify's glorious, God-given voice". Dan called on other Southern soul session stars like Carson Whitsett, Spooner Oldham, Reggie Young, Jimmie Johnson, David Hood and Wayne Jackson to create the perfect foundation for Bobby Purify's 2005 album Better To Have It. Bobby had gone completely blind in Nashville a few years before these recordings and unfortunately didn't have the confidence to tour with this great studio band as planned. As a result, the album was deleted and unavailable until this re-release. The twenty tracks on this release consist of the ten original demo versions of the songs sung by Dan Penn, followed by the same ten that appeared on Bobby Purify's original album.

"Dan Penn & Bobby Purify"

Dan Penn

Dan Penn trat zuerst als 14-jähriger Autor von "Is A Bluebird Blue" in den Vordergrund, einem bedeutenden Hit für Conway Twitty 1960. Ende der fünfziger Jahre gründete er mit David Briggs (Klavier), Norbert Putnam (Bass), Jerry Carrigan (Schlagzeug) und den Sargträgern eine Gruppe, Dan Penn und die Sargträger, die ihren Namen nach dem Kauf eines Leichenwagens als Zugwagen annahmen.

Sie machten mehrere erfolglose Platten, spielten lokale Alabama-Clubs und -Bars, bevor Rick Hall sie als Session-Band für sein neues Fame-Studio einstellte, wo Penn einen langen und fruchtbaren Teil begann. nership mit einem anderen Fame-Sessioneer, Lyndon 'Spooner' Oldham. Als Songwriting-Partnerschaft produzierten Penn und Oldham mehrere hundert Songs, von denen einige von Künstlern des Hall's eigenen Labels Fame verwendet wurden, einige von anderen Labels individuelle Sessions im Studio absolvierten und einige an Künstler in anderen lokalen Studios weitergegeben wurden, da Penn und Oldham nicht als Autoren an Fame gebunden waren.

Penn schrieb auch mit anderen renommierten Sessioneers, vor allem mit Chips Moman, dessen Team für `Do Right Woman - Do Right Man', einen Millionenverkäufer für Aretha Franklin und die großartige doomige, ländlich-seelische Ballade 'Dark End Of The Street', aufgenommen von James Carr, Roy Hamilton und vielen anderen verantwortlich war. Als Produzent arbeitete Penn unter anderem mit den Box Tops. Er setzte jedoch seine Partnerschaft mit Spooner Oldham fort, und sie gründeten ihre eigene unabhängige Produktionsfirma, die von den Lynn-Lou Studios aus arbeitete. Er hat eigenständig für MGM, Earth, Fame, Atlantic und Happy Tiger aufgenommen.
