It's a risky move for any singer to attempt a direct ascent on the towering peaks of Dusty Springfield's evergreen legacy. (Rolling Stone once called Dusty in Memphis the third most "essential" rock album by a woman.) Just a Little Lovin' achieves the unlikely: a tribute to an immortal artist which both glorifies its subject and elevates the worshipper kneeling at her altar. Lynne's 2001 breakthrough, I Am Shelby Lynne, was both utterly fresh and nostalgically infused with a Memphis-like spirit. Much of Just a Little Lovin' is as familiar as an old pair of shoes. Lynne's original contribution, "Pretend," fits snugly between the classics, but it's the loose, practically improvised vibe of this recording that breathes new life into Bacharach and David's "Anyone Who Had a Heart" and, especially, Randy Newman's "I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore." Genius producer Phil Ramone lends the entire collection the kind of intimacy he brought to Paul Simon and Billy Joel's most atmospheric 1970s recordings. Restrained instrumentation--often simply guitar, upright bass, a sprinkling of piano, and light percussion--turn even the teenage bubble-gum anthem "I Only Want to Be with You" into a sultry meditation. It's hard to imagine another recent album more successful in melding retro-reverence with contemporary moderation. The result arouses emotion even as it enchantingly relaxes. --Ben Heege

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.

 She's Made These Songs Her Own November 17, 2008
Joseph Brotherton (Greensboro, NC)
I 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 and would not be able to do so even if that were my intent. I mean only to say that these songs in Miss Lynne's capable hands have an emotional appeal on an entirely different level than that of Miss Springfield. I believe that Miss Lynne's treatment of these songs accurately conveys the emotions meant to be conveyed by the words themselves. And, that is better done with only the accompaniment of a piano or with no accompaniment at all than with that of an orchestra in the context of a "production."
This is a record for the ages. If you buy it, you'll listen to it over and over. You may as well not put it back on the shelf because it won't be long until you pull it out again, and again.

I thoroughly enjoyed the soothing sound of her music. I would buy other CDs

I liked a couple of the songs but would have liked a few more on the CD. She has a very lovely voice.

Not too many white females can claim the privilige of achingly romantic blues renditions done in their OWN way.
i do think this album not only does that but her unique voice and style tell a story not only her own but that of her audience; don't listen to it unless you are prepared.

Very disappointed in this CD. The woman has no range and I was bored (imagine-a boring Bacharach song) I was hoping that someone could do justice to Dusty. Not to be, at least, not yet.
