Wow! What a great album the Shelby Lynne covers of Dusty Springfield hits is. Recent subscribers may have received a copy free with a Word subscription and are no doubt enjoying one of this year's best releases - sublime, seduction music at its best. Got me thinking that Shelby should consider following it up with an album of Aretha Franklin covers. Along the same lines, I've also long thought that Rod The Plod Stewart should follow Shelby's lead and do a covers album with better credibility than his re-works of American crooning classics. Rod, if you're listening, try getting back to your roots and if the voice is still up to it, try Wilson Pickett's repertoire. I'm thinking that he'd not do a disservice to numbers like 'Midnight Hour', 'Mustang Sally' 'Land Of A 1000 Dances', 'I'm In Love' and others. He covered Sam Cooke's 'Twisting' The Night Away' with merit, after all.
