Pot Luck ‎(LP, Album, Ltd, RE, RM, Luc). Light In The Attic, Family Productions. Signed to a contract by Gulf + Western's short-lived Family Records subsidiary, 1973 saw Oldham release his first solo album. Produced by Ed Cobb, "Pot Luck" sported one of the year's ugliest covers, but about half of the songs made up for that lapse in marketing taste. First a quick warning. Anyone familiar with Oldham's catalog will understand why he's known for his writing and keyboards - his gruff voice managed to make Kris Kristofferson sound truly polished (in contrast, songwriting partner Dan Penn had a far more commercial voice).

Album · 2015 · 13 Songs. Spooner Oldham, David Hood, Bebop Evans & Carl Holder). The Southern Christmas Songbook & Hymnal.

Spooner Oldham needs little introduction: with Dan Penn he has written many classic tunes, while his fine touch on organ and keyboard have found him gracing recordings from Muscle Shoals soul sessions to Neil Young and Bob Dylan albums. Oldham worked in Los Angeles as a session man through the 70s and was talked into cutting Pot Luck, an album that was briefly released in 1972, never promoted and now gets an epic reissue from Light In The Attic. The keys man is not much of a singer, but his gentle voice suits the warm, relaxed, country-flavoured songs.

Dewey Lindon "Spooner" Oldham (born June 14, 1943) is an American songwriter and session musician.
