Simply Breathtaking

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: When I heard that Shelby Lynne was doing Dusty covers I thought - how boring . . . I love Shelby's voice but do we really need to keep hearing these same boring songs over and over again? How wrong I was!

The whole album is very understated and that is it's beauty. At times it almost sounds like acapella and I found myself almost wishing it WAS acapella because Lynne has the most beautiful amazing voice and the talent to use her voice like very few artists I've ever heard. Ella Fitzgerald comes to mind, Patsy Cline, Nora Jones (some of the greatest singers of all time.)

I absolutely fell in love with this CD. A few words to describe it:
Hauntingly delicious, sexy as it gets, full of surprises and completely original - - a true work of art and a masterpiece.

If you're looking for elevator music or schmaltzy pop music - something hum drum or run of the mill -- do not buy this cd.

If you are looking for inspiration and 100% pleasure then DO buy this cd.

And if you can't appreciate it - - maybe you should slow down and take a deep breath.

BTW this cd is great for dinner, dancing . . . . and you know what else (use your imagination here) Perfect to go with a bottle of red wine, a dozen roses and a night with your sweetie. A great listen all around for driving, eating, walking or whatever it is you might be doing.

I am 100% satisfied with my purchase of this cd. I am also very tired of all the whiners and complainers on the Internet - Please get a life!

Maybe this cd will put the spark back in your tired life . . .

Understated Tribute To Dusty

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: "Just A Little Lovin'" is indeed loving, intended to be a loving tribute to one of the most influential female vocalists of the rock era, Dusty Springfield. The two's careers could be more different. Springfield was a premier blue-eyed soul singer. Lynne started off as a middle of the road country singer who has expanded her musical boundaries, including recording the best-selling, critically praised CD, "I Am Shelby Lynne" in 2000.

Lynne's tribute is not a go-for-broke belter, but more like a understated, afraid of ruining the original material version. that doesn't mean that the CD is bad. Far from it, the love and care that Lynne has for the material is evident. Her versions of "I Only Want To Be With You," "Anyone Who Had A Heart," ""The Look of Love," and "How Can I Be Sure" are faithful and and surefooted.

This CD might not blow someone away, but they are orchestrated solidly and carefully, and anything that brings attention to the great Dusty is well worth a listen.

Hot

Review Comments: I have seen Shelby guess starring on several country music programs. I like her. "Just A Little Lovin'" opened a new world to her music, and brought back the sound of great blues/jazz female singers of years past. If you enjoy a simple, raw, sexy, female voice, you will love this cd....

Sublime

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: It was great to hear those old standards made just a little more smoky, a little darker and a whole lot sultrier. Thanks for that!

not great

 Album Rating: (2 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: this cd is very boring. just not what i thought it would be. heard one song on the radio and thought the whole cd would be like that. mistake!
it just sounds like she didn't really try hard to make this one a winner.
