Shelby Lynne’s 2008 album Just a Little Lovin’ is a tribute to Dusty Springfield, with Lynne covering nine songs popularized by the late English chanteuse.

Lynne drew comparisons to Springfield after her 1999 album I Am Shelby Lynne (a great one to check out if you haven’t already) and was later encouraged by Barry Manilow, of all people, to record a collection of Springfield’s songs. Lynne shelved the idea but returned to it several years later.

This album is a nice listen, with Lynne favoring understated versions of the songs set to acoustic backdrops. They don’t measure up to Springfield’s originals, but they aren’t really asking to.

This is a pleasant video that looks a bit like a Restoration Hardware catalog come to life. I find it funny that in 2009 Lynne is using a rotary dial phone.
