Perfection on Vinyl, Part Three: Dusty in Memphis

This album is a gem. You need it.

Here's why: It's probably one of the classiest, coolest, most lovely-sounding records ever recorded by a female artist. And I stand by that.

Dusty in Memphis was released just around the time that I came into this world (OK, it's five days older than me--Jan. 13, 1969). Dusty Springfield on this record produced a "white soul classic," according to some, but I just call it a classic.

Standout tracks:
Son of a Preacher Man
Just a Little Lovin
I Don't Want to Hear It Anymore
Breakfast in Bed

Actually, there isn't a track on this album that isn't a standout. I can't recommend it any more strongly to you.
