dan penn living on mercy

​Dan Penn (from the album Living on Mercy available on The Last Music Company) 
Soul is timeless. It can’t be manufactured anymore than it can be taken away with age. Dan Penn is proof, offering a new release, Living on Mercy, to prove the point. The title track opens Living on Mercy, Dan Penn immediately melting the ice around hearts. He gives a gospel feel to a tune penned for songwriters Mecca with “Down on Music Row” as he checks into “Blue Motel”, introducing a cast of lovers on their way up and down, in and out. Living on Mercy is warm Southern Soul, strumming a rhythm under the regrets of “See You in My Dreams”, strutting to a full stop with the words of love in “Didn’t Hear That Coming”, and shuffling towards an exit in closing cut, “One of These Days”.
 
A dictionary entry for Blue-eyed Soul, as a songwriter Dan Penn co-authored hits such as “I’m Your Puppet” (James & Bobby Purify), “Dark End of the Street” (James Carr), “Do Right Woman, Do Right Man” (Aretha Franklin), “A Woman Left Lonely” (Janis Jopin), “Cry Like a Baby” (The Box Tops) as well as tracks for 
Percy Sledge and Clarence Carter in addition to producing The Box Tops break-through hit, “The Letter”. Dan Penn is charming in his vocals, making promises that his honest delivery verifies in “I Do”, boasting of his luck in love with “Soul Connection” as he walks the highwire act balancing on the “Edge of Love” and becomes a wiseman doling out advice on matters of the heart in “What It Takes to Be True”.
