Shelby Lynne doesn't sing the Dusty Springfield classics on Just a Little Lovin' because they're easy. Nope. It's because she loves these songs. That's what she told her adoring Nashville crowd last Friday night (March 29). Sure, I enjoy the seductive songs about being in love, like "Breakfast in Bed" and "The Look of Love," but when she sings about not being loved back - that's the good stuff right there. Of course, "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" is a classic in that genre, and I appreciate the understated reading she gives it here. The cool thing about this album is, regardless of whether or not you're in love, you'll find some music that you can relate to. And wow, what a singer.
