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

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 July 26, 2008
"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.

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....

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.
