"Co-writer of such classic country, soul and pop classics such as 'Do Right Woman,' 'Cry Like a Baby,' 'I'm Your Puppet,' 'Out of Left Field,' and 'Dark End of The Street,' Dan Penn spends his time these days retrieving, dusting off, and occasionally releasing lost gems from his many songwriting sessions. Having made only a handful of albums over the course of his long career, his demo session recordings have become legendary primarily because of the versatility and range of his voice, and its ability to sell a song. They have long been sought after by enthusiasts and collectors, and more and more of these tracks have seen the light of day over the past decade. This new compilation, curated by Penn himself, begins with the title track, 'Smoke Filled Room,' an unheard signature classic which could have been written in the heyday of Memphis and Muscle Shoals, before it runs the table from straight up southern gospel to blues and power ballads. Through it all, as always, Penn's voice delivers -- and how."

"Bear Family DeLuxe first time ever vinyl reissue of this essential and extremely hard-to-find album, originally released on Bell Records in 1973. Country, soul and funk: 'Cosmic American Music'. He co-wrote classic soul hits with Chips Moman or Spooner Oldham like 'The Dark End Of The Street', 'Do Right Woman Do Right Man', 'I Met Her In Church', and 'Sweet Inspiration'. He produced 'The Letter' by the Box Tops. Beyond all question: essential! 180gram vinyl re-issue with gatefold sleeve. Original artwork. Vinyl reissue of country-soul icon and ingenious songwriter Dan Penn's debut album, originally released on Bell Records in 1973, a favorite of serious music lovers. Although not containing any of his popular 1960s trademark songs, Nobody's Fool presents a great deal of moving tunes like the hardcore honky-tonk jewel 'Tearjoint', or the extra tough 'I Hate You'. Mixed and produced by Dan Penn."
