Produced by Spooner Oldham. The young Chilton learned at the feet of a veritable murderer’s row of soul and country stalwarts including Den Penn, Spooner Oldham, and Chips Moman. He internalized those lessons brilliantly, but some part of him was always looking overseas for inspiration. By the time he started Big Star with the similarly inclined songwriter Chris Bell, bassist Andy Hummel, and stalwart drummer Jody Stephens, he had fully integrated the sounds of the British Invasion with his own homegrown soul influences into something utterly unique and transcendentally brilliant. stereogum/1163732/big-stars-10-best-songs/franchises/listomania/
