Shelby Lynne's Smooth Country Jazz

Shelby Lynne's Just A Little Lovin', in which she covers 9 Dusty Springfield songs had gotten such a lukewarm blog reception over its slow pace that I was reluctant to hear it. Lynne takes these songs and turns them into smooth jazz, which is impressive for a Country singer. But Lynne has been anything but a Country act since she dabbled in Pop records in the late 90's.
Here she wraps her considerable voice in a catalog that deserves a second listen. Oddly, she doesn't cover "Son Of A Preacher Man". Too slow could be right, at times I want Lynne to get all Pop confection, the way Springfield's best songs did. But if you stick with it, this will grow on you. Just make sure you're not dead tired when you put it on.
