As some of you already know, I highly recommend this album........

Just A Little Lovin' CD
Shelby Lynne Inspired by Dusty Springfield
2008 Lost Highway Records
Amazon.com 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.

Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.
