Moments from This Theater Live Import

Reader Reviews
This is an album that Southern Soul masters Penn and Spooner recorded live, during an unusual tour of small venues, and what a gem it is. I believe that you will find at least one song here which has already moved your heart, and -call it an injustice that these men may not be worshipped beyond certain circles- you may not even know that one of them wrote it. For me, "Cry Like A Baby" or "Do Right Woman, " "I'm Your Puppet" or "The Dark End Of The Street" are enough to vow, be quiet, and listen. Even if you still loved the versions that made these tunes unforgetable, you'll appreciate their spare beauty and may rediscover the depth of Penn and Oldham's songwriting. The playing, only piano and guitar, are a treat in its own right. Oldham does not have to play that many notes to wow you with his deep sense of melody, and Penn -not the most gifted singer ever- sings sincerely enough to satisfy angels. This is a very special album, perhaps not everyone may see it or be drawn to Southern Soul, but I risk to bet that no one seriously interested in popular music would miss to feel the mood and depth of these renditions.
