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. --Ben Heege

Shelby's new album, Just A Little Lovin', was inspired by one of her favorite singers, Dusty Springfield. The album features nine clasic songs associated with Dusty and one stunning original written by Shelby, inspired by Dusty.

I have seen Shelby guess starring on several country music programs. I like her. "Just A Little Lovin'" opened a new world to her music, and brought back the sound of great blues/jazz female singers of years past. If you enjoy a simple, raw, sexy, female voice, you will love this cd....

It was great to hear those old standards made just a little more smoky, a little darker and a whole lot sultrier. Thanks for that!

this cd is very boring. just not what i thought it would be. heard one song on the radio and thought the whole cd would be like that. mistake!
it just sounds like she didn't really try hard to make this one a winner.
Vinyl LP: Great recording, defective pressing June 5, 2008

Just A Little Lovin' is a great album featuring a fine performance from Shelby Lynne and solid, understated production by Phil Ramone.
After hearing the CD, I just had to get it on vinyl. And man do the first few songs on each side sound terrific!
But, and it's a big but, the pressing is defective and the last couple of songs on each side are heavily distorted, to the point where they're basically unlistenable. Hence only two stars for the vinyl version.
Very good players. June 2, 2008

Love the playing on this record, top musicians no doubt...
Classic songs, good production.
I think Shelby could have belted it out more on a few of these.
It needs a least 2 higher tempo songs, IMHO.
Audiophile recording...
