Shelby Lynne


I have the new Shelby Lynne cover disc of songs recorded by Dusty Springfield. I think it is my favorite disc of the past 6 months at least. Others hear this?

Agree. I tried this morning for the first time since I bought it at Amoeba Music. Hollywood right around when it was released. Absolutely great record and sound. I sat thru the whole record awestruck!
I thought the vocals sounded warm and intimate. The Absolute Sound in the March 2008 issue reviewed it and Neil Gader liked it. He said that she used a mic that was an ancient RCA 44 ribbon mic nicknamed "Frank's mic",giving it a vintage and elegant mood.
Some of you may be interested in Shelby's discussion of the virtues of analogue recording which appears as a side bar on the home page of her website

On the Amazon video, Shelby Lynne mentions it was the mic Frank Sinatra used at Capitol Studio A.

Great album and the sparse production better communicates the essence of the song.
