EAN: 0602517514263 Label: Lost Highway Manufacturer: Lost Highway Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Lost Highway Release Date: January 29, 2008 Studio: Lost Highway Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Though Shelby Lynne has already reinvented herself more than once, never has her musical transformation seemed more inspired than on this release that finds the maverick Nashville artist channeling Dusty Springfield. While much of the material comes from the classic Dusty in Memphis (where the British pop singer reinvented herself with a dash of Southern soul), Lynne has recorded more than another collection of covers. With the sparest of arrangements and superb production by Phil Ramone, she inhabits these songs from the inside out, frequently offering transformations that provide revelations on both the material and Lynne's artistry. Throughout, she embodies the wistfulness of the worldly-wise other woman; one who is willing to settle for what she needs. There's a heart-stopping intimacy to the album-opening title cut, and the acappella intro renews the familiar "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me." She recasts Springfield's earlier "I Only Want to Be with You" from jangly teeny-bop into a sultry and sophisticated ballad with a Brazilian lilt. In addition to material from such master tunesmiths as Burt Bacharach ("Anyone Who Has a Heart," a particularly seductive "The Look of Love") and Randy Newman ("I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore"), Lynne offers her own "Pretend" as a hit that Springfield could have had. The yearning rendition of the Rascals' "How Can I Be Sure" provides the perfect cap for an album that establishes Lynne as a superb interpretive stylist. --Don McLeese Amazon.com: Shelby's new album, Just A Little Lovin', was inspired by one of her favorite singers, Dusty Springfield. The album features nine clasic songs associated with Dusty and one stunning original written by Shelby, inspired by Dusty. Shelby Lynne Photos

Universal. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Gorgeous vocals and a sureness of touch.This is a meticulous record, each note weighed and measured, where Lynne and producer Phil Ramone favour the standards. Thankfully, at its heart is a singer who has already demonstrated - on I Am Shelby Lynne and Identity Crisis - that she instinctively understands how to communicate emotion. She has carefully harvested some of the hallowed singer's deepest, and often saddest, material, investing it with captivating sparsity. In general, she adopts a 'less-is-more' approach and ...

Great songs,great voice & an acoustic guitar in the right hands can produce an amazing final product. Many of the songs on this album are her rendition of songs done by others. I played this cd once & then again & again...its that good! Don't take my word for it. Listen to the samples, I think you'll agree. Rating: - She's Made These Songs Her OwnI like Dusty Springfield. I like Shelby Lynne. I love Shelby Lynne singing songs that used to be condsidered to be "Dusty's." And I say "used to be considered" meaning to use those words. It was funny a few years ago when some kid asked his father about Paul McCartney, who was then singing with Wings, "Dad, didn't he used to be in another band?" Well, a similar question might now be asked about these songs, "Did someone else sing that song years ago?" I do not mean to diminish Miss Springfield ...

I would buy other CDs Rating: - Just a Little Lovin'I liked a couple of the songs but would have liked a few more on the CD. She has a very lovely voice. |
