Free Music Notes for Just A Little Lovin'
Free Music Review: Album of the year?
Hit: 5 Stars
Just a little lovin' is a remarkable record in many ways, but it's perhaps most significant touch is that it doesn't allow itself to get caught in any genre. It's easy listening without being easy. It's alt country without being country. It's a typical Shelby Lynn record but doesn't sound like her previous records. What it is is the kind of cd that grows every time you hear it. What appears to be familiar songs in new suits shows to be almost new gems when you realise that you can make them shine in so many different ways all depending on your own mood or if you play them in the background or use them for in-depth listening.
So much for talk. Try the sound clips. If you're the least interested in them, don't waste any time to pick it up, and be sure that you're about to make what may be this years best investment.
Free Music Review: Amazing Shelby
Hit: 5 Stars
I first heard of Shelby Lynn in 2000 when "I Am Shelby Lynn" was released and got to see her intimate show upstairs at the Parasdiso in Amsterdam. The 50 or 60 people in the room were literally blown away by her performance, which was gutsy, raw and unforgettable, just like her album, I Am Shely Lynn. Since then I have eagerly awaited each of her new releases, (and her return to Holland which has yet to happen, unfortunately). Just a Little Lovin' is Shelby's no frills, stripped down interpretations of Dusty Springfields songs and her sultry, smokey and, thankfully, not over the top vocals and subtle production make them work so well. Bravo, Shelby Lynn! Dusty would be proud.Free Music Review: Sometimes, physical beauty is irrelevant.......

....., but, for that to be true, an album has to be either very good, or very bad; this one is VERY, VERY, GOOD!!!!. A real stunner, and ear grabber. OK, I'll admit that these are songs of my generation, and that I like girls with low voices...still, Shelby Lynne has done herself proud, and earned five stars, and more....
The songs are, with the exception of "Pretend", "covers"....some folks use that as a negative term, but I disagree; classics get to be such for the simple reason that they have stood the test of time. Some are better known than others, but Shelby makes every one sound new, fresh, and all her own. I'll mention specifics...from the opening notes of the title cut, you know you're listening to something special. "Anyone Who Had a Heart", "I Only Want to Be With You", and "How Can I Be Sure", have all been done before, but never better!! "The Look of Love" was famously sung by Diana Krall...she can't be beat, but, here, she is equalled, which is very high praise. Shelby is no Diana clone...each girl has her own sound, and style, and both are fabulous.
I could go on, and on...Shelby is a very pretty girl, who can REALLY sing. She has style, one can understand the words, and she gives us a joyous listening experience. If you can only afford one record at the moment, let THIS be the one.....
Free Music Review: Just A Little........Disappointed.....
Hit: 1 Stars
I grew up on the music of Dusty Springfield and am still a huge fan of her recordings. While I never expect any other artist who chooses to do a "songbook" in honor of another artist to be the "same" as what the honored artist did with his/her rendition, I expect it to have at least some semblance of the original. The biggest disappointment on this endeavor by Ms. Lynne is her rendition of "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me". A very sorry arrangement. While I am sure Ms. Lynne has her supporters, I would bet most of them are younger and don't even know who Dusty is. So, when you are going to take music from an era that belonged to the Baby Boomers, you need to ensure that it is appealing to that population. I have played this CD for a number of contemporaries who were, at the best, disappointed as well. Free Music Review: Low Key and simply Wonderful!

I have seen her live once and her previous records does not make her voice justice, but this CD does!
