I believe that Sweet Inspiration is the best album released by Ace Records in 2011 and I rate it as a solid five star album!!!
To begin with, Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham are masters of Southern soul, and these songs exemplify what the musical genre can artistically achieve through intelligent and awe-inspiring songwriting.
Here is what I believe Southern soul is all about: Southern soul music, is made up of different stories which represent various aspects of the human condition. You have stories of lonely and desolate people saved and spiritually elevated by love; you have stories of hurt and regret, stories of wanting to make good after inflicting wrong; stories of the passionate and guilt ridden and the different roads that they've taken; stories of the volatility and insecurity of life, where love is generously offered one moment, and suddenly and without any reason, immediately withdrawn. And of course there are stories of betrayal; women betraying men and men betraying women, as well as endless other tales.
What makes quality Southern soul really special to me, is that you have all these great singers acting out all these fantastic stories and poignantly and passionately bringing them to life. This is something that Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham artfully achieve through their masterful music.
There best songs are spiritually unlifting and very poetic, and not only is one enthralled and really moved by the beautiful melody, but also the story being told as acted out by the very talented singers.
In conclusion, there are too many great songs on this album to go through them one by one. All I can say is go out and buy it, because this is an excellent album!!!!!

The kid born as Daniel Pennington was in his early teens when he first heard black music on the radio and by the time he was 16 he joined Benny Cagle & the Rhythm Swingstars which is where he met soon to be Nashville producer Billy Sherill.Both would join the Fairlanes where he became the singer.Cutting a single for the Spar label Penn had written a song called Is A Bluebird Blue which Conway Twitty recorded.This was in 1960.
The Spar label was owned by Florence Alabama Music Enterprises or FAME for short.A recording studio which has begun with a single called A Fallen Star made by one Bobby Denton and issued on the Tune label who became a politician and ended up as the State Senator.But the song ended up with 5 covers on the Hot 100 including Ferlin Husky and Jimmy Newman.It was at this studio where one Lindon Oldham was a musician.Denton was a rarity among State Senators in that he was completely normal and had the same wife for over 50 years at the time of writing,returning after 40 years to the music business when he cut 5 albums in the 90s
Florence Alabama was the birthplace of Sandy Posey as well as the Carter Family & Cathy who were a white Gospel act and nothing to do with the real Carter Family
The first hit to come out of Fame was by former bellhop Arthur Alexander who was to become the only artist to have songs covered by the Beatles,Stones and Elvis.
So this is the background to what's on this CD

Not always the obvious choices of recordings of these songs but it goes to show the quality of the writing. Another great album from Ace.

I purchased Do Right Man a number of years ago. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. If the new C.D. is the same quality then it will be just as pleasurable listening to it. I saw Dan and Spooner in concert at The Arches in Glasgow a number of years ago. They were stunning. It was an acoustic soul set by Dan with Spooner accompanying him on the electric organ.The combination of Dan's soulful vocals and acoustic guitar, singing those wonderful songs made it a masterpiece. His vocals sounded even better live. Spooner accompanied Dan and reminisced about working with some of the stars from the 60's. It was a privilege listening to these two artists singing and playing real soul music.
