He, sjå kor han kosa seg når han drar ein av verdens vakraste sanger: Dark End Of The Street.
Litt info om sangen henta fra Songfacts: "Penn recalled to Mojo magazine January 2008 how they came to write this song: "Me and Chips were in a poker game, and we took a break and went back to our room. And there was a guitar and we started the song. I wrote it as far as I could and handed it to him and we finished it up really fast. It was maybe a year before James Carr recorded it. And the reason James Carr got it was because he was next. That's the way they used to get the songs in Memphis, whoever was next got the next song." Penn added: "James Carr, he had some great records but he was kind of an Otis sound-alike. But when he did 'Dark End Of The Street' I think he found his own voice. He never sounded like that again, I think he had some problems (Carr had a drug addiction). But he was one great singer. His record can't be touched. The whole make-up of the record, it screams 1966. There's something about that time that got on that tape that I've never heard anybody get that close to."
