A treat for me, and a few others who hang round about here, to look forward to is an album due out in August that Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer have collaborated on, according to Rolling Stone.
It is titled, Not Dark Yet, after the Dylan Song they cover. The producer is Teddy Thompson.
It also includes covers of songs by Townes van Zandt, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires and Nirvana.
See that street, I’m well up it!
I should coco, me too. Tip top o’riley!!
That’s going to be worth a listen. Not sure how big I am on Shelby, but I’ve fallen in love with Allison Moorer’s voice and music.
Love Allison, and Shelby slightly less as her quality control dropped off slightly…I suspect the, ahem, relaxants got to her slightly. Their duets on the AM “Show” live album are really good, especially “Is heaven good enough for you” which is pretty harrowing if you know the story – for those who don’t, it’s about how their father murdered their mother then turned the gun on himself. Not on YT but well worth looking out.
Oh, oh, oh!
Shelby’s quality has dropped off (even slightly)?!?!?!
I Can’t Imagine was my favourite album of 2015. Chock full of goodies, including the brilliant title track. Sir, you know not what you say!
Have to agree with you @Carl – Revelation road too which I think was the one that preceded that is excellent.
I haven’t heard that one but i didn’t think the songs on the earlier albums were especially distinctive and I thought the Dusty one was lovely sounding but pointless as I already have Dusty in Memphis and it’s better. “Love Shelby” however is stonking.
I’m of to France next week so I’m downloading some of the ones I don’t know from Spotty out of interest.
Deffo take Rev Road a la belle France, it’s a good ‘un.
Thanks for the heads up Carl – hadn’t seen that anywhere. I have posted on here about seeing Shelby at Waterloo records in Austin – she was promoting her Dusty album and it was the most intense goosebumps moment.
With a new Randy Newman album out too looks like August gonna be a great month.
Whenever we have a thread on best album of covers, Just A Liitle Lovin’ is regularly in the top ten. It’s in my top three with Elvis Presley and Nightclubbing.
Elvis covered Nightclubbing? Rushes off to Spotify…
This one’s going on the pin board. Thanks for the heads-up.
Ooh. Looking forward to that. And this has reminded me that I’ve not listened to Shelby’s Dusty covers album. Very sultry.
