Free Music Notes for Dusty Definitely

Free Music Review: Dusty definitely? You bet! How many other artists would dare to end an album with the crash, bang, wallop of breaking cutlery?!
Hit: 5 Stars

'Dusty....Definitely' is not an album you can sit and relax to, at least not until you get past track six ('Love Power'), by which time you will probably HAVE to sit down.
First up is the groovy rolling tempo of 'Ain't No Sun Since You've Been Gone', with a nod towards Motown, followed by the brilliantly provocative 'Take Another Little Piece Of My Heart', a screamingly defiant song delivered in exactly the right manner. 'Another Night' is a great song, but a little mysterious in places; nothing wrong with Dusty's vocals, but, what was happening with the percussions? The track seems to fade in and out in places making you think it's about to finish...when it isn't! It's not a bad track by any means; no need to adjust your stereo!
On the next two tracks 'Mr Dream Merchant' and 'I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You', Dusty has that haunting vulnerability back in her voice, something she did so well and added that extra touch to so many of her songs.
Don't be fooled into relaxing by the slow and easy start of 'Love Power', it's not too long before the drums kick in and will box you round the ears if you're not paying attention.
At last (gasp) we can get ready for the smoochy side starting with Bacharach/David's 'This Girl's In Love With You', one of my favourite Dusty songs. 'I Only Wanna Laugh', a big band song from the Broadway musical 'Jimmy' shows off her versatility wonderfully. Next is one of the most heartbreaking lyrics i've ever heard Dusty sing in the first sentence ;"tell me who, when my life is through", then later 'Who Will Take My Place', this is a Charles Aznavour song which certainly brought a tear to my eyes, it grabs you unexpectedly. We then have 'I Think It's Going To Rain Today', a stirring Randy Newman number that was a favourite with Dusty herself. The last track on the album proper (before we get to the bonuses) is the deliciously slushy 'Second Time Around', and as the record fades.....we get a rude awakening...the sound of breaking cutlery! This is not listed on the sleeve, but, Dusty recorded a very short piece called 'Breaking Glass(and other bits)'. Apparently, what happened was that somebody walked in to the recording studio holding a tea-tray and somehow the whole lot went flying, Dusty loved the sound so much, she decided to keep it on the album, there's no warning at all, so before you rush to the kitchen to see if the cat has got up on the draining-board, hold off for about 10 seconds! Classic. I loved it, if for no other reason than it gives an amusing insight into her whacky humour, and, how many other artists would dare to end (the original) an album with the crash, bang, wallop of breaking cutlery?!
There is an interesting section of bonus tracks, including the lovely 'Spooky', and two written by Dusty's close friend Norma Taneger; 'No Stranger Am I', and 'The Colour Of Your Eyes' (co-written with Molly Mckernan), both absolutely beautiful and what i can only descibe as haunting and tender.
'Dusty....Definitely' was released in November 1968, spent six weeks on the charts and mysteriously got no higher than number 30. In the NME polls in December Lulu scooped first place for both World Female Singer and British Female Singer, but, Dusty was hot on her heels with second place in both categories.
