WIN Shelby Lynne Covering the Songs of Dusty Springfield



No music today, folks...just a promise of what's to come.

Singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne's new album Just A Little Lovin', a stripped-down acoustic set of covers of Dusty Springfield songs (plus one Dusty-esque original), comes out on January 29th, and I can't wait. Shelby was once pure Nashville Country, but she left that behind long before her 2001 Grammy for Best New Artist; her newest work floats a set of masterful vocals over acoustic guitar and piano, resulting in a sound comparable to the better, sparser works of Alison Krauss or even Norah Jones: folk-tinged, with a twang and a fully mature control over her own sound. If the cuts I've heard are any indication, we're in for a real treat.

And if you're as excited as I am -- or just intrigued enough to care -- now's the time to pay attention. Because thanks to Lost Highway Records, Filter, and the other good folks behind this record, I've been given the chance to offer one of you your very own autographed copy of Just A Little Lovin'.

I'll be posting a few songs from Just A Little Lovin', plus some other great covers from Shelby Lynne, in the next few days. In the meantime, if you'd like to take a crack at winning an autographed copy of Shelby Lynne's sweet new cover album, leave a shout-out and your email address in the comments below. I'll pick a winner sometime next week.

Hey there. Long time listener, first time caller... oh wait. Well, long time reader first time typer. Whatever. Love your blog, love all covers blogs but you do an outstanding job (by just showing up you're ahead of most). My E-mail address is knives2meetyou@yahoo.com, and I'd love an autographed copy of the CD (have already, cough cough, downloaded it but plan on buying it anyway - love Shelby Lynne). Thanks for all your hard work.

I am a big fan of both women, and have been excited about this album ever since I read about it in a magazine (The Advocate, I think?) Haven't yet heard it, but can't wait to. 2silverwings@gmail.com

we discovered Shelby long ago, back in the days of her "Western Swing" music (and we were not country music fans at the time). Then we re-discovered her when her pop album "I Am Shelby" came out. So I'd love to get the new disk to see how she was changed herself yet again.

I'm also a fan of Allison Moorer and her hubby, Steve Earle. Good tunes all around.

I heart Shelby so much that her Daisy Duked outfit on 'Love, Shelby' didn't even phase me!

Yes, well, as long shot as it may be, please count me in for your giveaway of Shelby's new cd of Dusty songs. I once told Chuck Prophet that I bought Dusty in Memphis because he keeps talking about it. He gave me the look, so I continued ... and it's all good. Made him laugh.
Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though, come to think of it, it's quite hard to type this way. Oh, well...

(Sorry for any trouble, but, I just don't know how people still post "naked" addresses, it's so messy out there.)

Very excited for the new disc. Shelby fans should check out the great New York Times feature from a couple of weeks ago.

It's an intriguing concept I can't wait to hear. If any contemporary artist can pull it off, Shelby's the one. My favorite cover version of hers' so far is "Rainy Night In Georgia" For any completists that don't know already, she does a great guest vocal with "Rainy's" writer Tony Joe White on his "Heroines" album. Thanks for all your efforts on a high quality blog.

Einige kette thomas sabo der Jahre möglicherweise nicht in chronologischer Reihenfolge aufgeführt werden, aber ich habe sie so nah wie thomas sabo kette möglich.
