Title: LONESOME FISHERMAN
Review: Among jewels of my favorite Ry Cooder's album "SHOW TIME", "The Dark End of the Street" is a special one. This song led me to know there is a bitter love in the real world. And the song reminds me some couples standing on some corners of the road of my home town. Years later, I came to know the song was written by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham, and I listened their live recording of the song. I was impressed with the voice of Dan Penn, It was husky (right choice of words?), a sort of Emmylou Harris's. Reminds me a fisherman's voice in good old days. "NOBODY'S FOOL" was his debut record in his own name. Country flavored slower tempo and steady rhythm like southern soul music comfort me, especially in the title song, and his voice smells like a sea breeze. Dear old "Lodi"! You should know the version of Creedence Clearwater Revival. The last tune of this album is spoken lyric "Skin". Hearing this album, I assure you will sleep well dreaming your dear old hometown.
