Spooner Oldham - Crazy Chester Radio Hour Episode 51

Crazy Chester Radio Hour

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Spooner Oldham cut his teeth playing sessions and writing songs in Muscle Shoals before relocating to Memphis where he worked at American Sound Studio and continued his writing partnership with Dan Penn. Later he moved to Los Angeles where he worked with Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt and Neil Young. Oldham’s playing can be heard on Percy Sledge’s “When A Man Loves A Woman”, Aretha Franklin’s “Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)”, Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally” and Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon”, just to name a few. His songs have been recorded by The Box Tops (“Cry Like A Baby”), James & Bobby Purify (“I’m Your Puppet”) and The Sweet Inspirations (“Sweet Inspiration”), among many others. The Crazy Chester Radio Hour is created and hosted by record producer and songwriter Andreas Werner. This episode was recorded at the NuttHouse Recording Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The theme song is performed by Jimmy Hall & The Funky Chester Rhythm Section and written by Andreas Werner (Crazy Chester Music, BMI). Used with permission.
