Picked up a CD of Shelby Lynne's "Just a Little Lovin'" based on a review in one of the stereo magazines. Glad I did! Some of the songs are really good. It's dedicated to and partially reprises Dusty Springfield's "Dusty Goes to Memphis" album.
Since I liked the replica so much, I go and buy Springfield's work on new, "audiophile" vinyl last night.
Big disappointment. AM-ish sound quality, over-styled (and over-rated) singing, layers and layers of strings and backup instruments. I'm not liking it although the vinyl is a clean pressing.
However, it was great to hear "Son of Preacher Man" again. I keep wondering, I'm the nephew of a missionary man - does that count?
"Just a Little Lovin'" is definitely recommended.
