Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary Muscle Shoals songwriter and producer steps into the spotlight for a rare solo debut that fuses deep southern soul with stripped-down country aesthetics. Recorded primarily with a core group of session veterans, the arrangements are characterized by a weary, laid-back groove and Penn's emotionally resonant, unpolished vocal delivery. It stands as a definitive document of the Memphis country-soul crossover era.
