@tc_morekindness Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham wrote a lot of great songs together. This has been one of the most-played CDs in my household:

"Sweet Inspiration: The Songs Of Dan Penn And Spooner Oldham" (2011)

There's also a second volume, and a third collection with songs that Dan Penn wrote either alone or with others.

@tc_morekindness While I was looking for the original 1965 Dan Penn recording, I also found this very nice live performance by Penn and his co-writer, Spooner Oldham:

The Mountain Goats, Dark in Here, 2021 on Merge

Twentieth studio LP from The Mountain Goats, recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by Matt Ross-Spang. THe Mountain Goats this time include John Darnielle with Peter Hughes, Jon Wurster, and Matt Douglas, supported by Spooner Oldham, Will McFarlane, Susan Marshall, and Reba Russell.

Darnielle is such an amazing and interesting songwriter. The subtitle of the album is “12 songs for singing in caves, bunkers, foxholes, and secret spaces beneath the floorboards.” Who else (Flaming Lips?) would have a song titled “Aruging with the Ghost of Pater Laughner about his Coney Island Baby Review”?

My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is the blue vinyl limited edition with an etching on side 4.

Cat Power, Jukebox, 2008 on Matador

Eighth studio album from Cat Power, mostly covers with two originals mixed in.

Pretty eclectic selection of tunes to cover, from Kander & Ebb’s “New York” through Hank Williams and The Highwaymen, to Dylan, Janis Joplin, and Joni Mitchell – plus Billie Holiday’s “Don’t Explain.”

Chan Marshall is joined by Erik Paparazzi, Jim White, Judah Bauer, Teenie Hodges, Matt Sweeney, and Gregg Foreman, with guest Spooner Oldham, who cowrote “Woman Left Lonely.”

Comes A Time

Shakey releases his 9th album on October 21, 1978 ... his "folk-country" album inspired by past relationships and growing up in Winnipeg listening to Ian & Sylvia. The album was both a contrast and a respite from what was going on with punk in '78. #neilyoung #comesatime #country #folk #shakey #nicolettelarson #ralphmolina #billytalbot #spooneroldham #70smusic Listen to Comes A Time by Neil Young on Amazon Music ...
