Now thirty-nine, country singer Shelby Lynne has made records for nearly twenty years, establishing herself as one of Nashville's bright lights and dropping the occasional stylistic screwball — namely, 2001's pop-rock Love, Shelby and '05's country-soul Suit Yourself. This collection of Dusty Springfield covers mostly stays slow, quiet and romantic. There's no "Son of a Preacher Man," no horn sections and not much groove, just bare-bones interpretations that are more light jazz than country, including a gorgeous "Anyone Who Had a Heart." Daring it's not, but it pays homage to a hero without getting indulgent or falling into rote imitation.
