Shelby Gives Dusty Her Due

Shelby Lynne's first record in two-and-a-half years is a complete changeup.
Just a Little Lovin' is a mirror image of sorts. Lynne wrote only one tune -- the entire record is an homage to the late Dusty Springfield. Nine of its ten cuts are inextricably linked with the legendary British vocalist. Lynne came under the sway of Springfield's work some years ago, and it was Barry Manilow, of all people, who suggested she cut a record like this one after a discussion of Springfield's work with Lynne.
