The Inside Track on Bobby Purify

The Inside Track on Bobby Purify traces the arc of one of Dan Penn's recording projects from his original blueprint to its ultimate commercial release providing the listener with a unique behind-the-scenes experience of the whole process of songwriting and production from Dan's side of the desk. This CD package contains a sixteen-page booklet featuring photographs and interviews with Dan about the recordings.

Inspired by Solomon Burke's soul-deep interpretation of Don't Give Up On Me in 2002, Dan Penn reunited with his co-writers of the Grammy Award-winning song for a new project. He instinctively knew that team had more great songs in the same vein ready to be mined, but to get them dug out, they needed to dedicate some time to head down south for some quality writing and equally good eating. The demos he recorded during these songwriting sessions with his collaborators Carson Whitsett and Bucky Lindsey are a joy to hear as they feature Dan's voice at its absolute, soulful best.
