Free Music Review: Loose(r) Dusty
Hit: 5 Stars
Dusty Springfield did everything she could to airbrush herself in a studio situation, so to hear her looser is to hear her rawer, but more real, revealing more of a masculine vocal strength she hid under echo and breathiness if she could in a more controlled situation. For me the great singers are actors (and actresses, which is word that acquired a silly stigma for some reason) and on these recordings, though not technically as well crafted as the studio recordings, Dusty is acting at a higher level on most of the songs, particularly her hits. The arrangements are closer to some kind of jazz combo in a club, at times a pickup one-night stand group feel, but Dusty just reaches deeper - of course. Similar to the way Aretha Franklin sings better on the much-disparaged "In Paris" live album BECAUSE the backup group isn't top notch. AND a full handful of songs totally new to her catalogue. You wouldn't maybe introduce someone to Dusty with this CD, but for anyone else, it's a no-brainer. If they had handed her "O Solo Mio" she would have found a way to do it unforgettably.
Complete BBC Sessions Poster
Dusty Springfield was the finest female vocalist of her era, a performer of remarkable emotional resonance whose body of work spans the decades and their attendant musical transformations with a consistency and purity unmatched by any of her contemporaries. This wonderful collection compiles her complete surviving BBC sessions onto one CD for the very first time. The first three tracks, by The Springfields, includes their first single 'Dear John' alongside two follow up singles 'Swahili Papa' and 'Say I Won't Be There'. This session and the following solo session in 1964 have only recently surfaced at the BBC, having been considered 'lost' for a number of years. The album racks up five Top 10 hits alongside a string of album tracks and b-sides but most excitingly includes 'To Love Somebody', a cover of the Bee Gees classic that was originally recorded in Atlanta for inclusion in the seminal Dusty In Memphis album however that version was destroyed in a fire. This track and 'Tossing and Turning', 'Up Tight (Everything's Alright)', 'We're Doing Fine', 'Good Loving' and 'Higher and Higher (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me)' only exist in the BBC's archives. 22 tracks.
