Shelby Lynne, brilliant, as usual
The irony of this record is that Shelby Lynne is a much more significant artist than Dusty Springfield. Nothing against Dusty, I like her well enough (even though her signature song, "Son of a Preacherman", was done far, far better by Aretha, though as a rule Aretha makes any song she sings her personal property thenceforth and forevermore). But she was just a singer with an identifiable, and very effective, style. Shelby Lynne has had a remarkable career that is impressive in its depth and breadth. She's had the occasional misstep but her musicality is so strong that she just opens her mouth and music pours forth effortlessly. She's like Elvis in that way. And I don't compare people to Elvis casually. In fact, that might be the first time I've ever done it. That might be the first time it's ever occured to me to do it.
