I’ve always been fond of Dusty Springfield. But to my surprise, I’ve found this cover album from Shelby Lynne to be the best Dusty’s homage ever.

Lynne’s interpretation is just thrilling, so powerful, it always gives me goosebumps.

One of the rare album for which I also have a vinyl version…

Not a huge fan of Alan Parsons’ Project usually (personally I cannot stand “Eye in the Sky” - too mellow and soppy for me…) but I quite like this one…
