Shelby Lynne Giveaway: Just A Little Lovin’
Not intent on simply covering Dusty Springfield, Shelby Lynne takes a stab at reinterpreting select songs of the late singer’s material and making it her own on her most recent record, Just A Little Lovin’, out on Lost Highway today. What you’ll find are a handful of beautifully desolate songs that sound nothing like the originals. Whether you’ll enjoy the sparsity of the arrangements is dependent on the preferences of your own palate, but one thing is certain, Phil Ramone will never be accused of overproducing Just A little Lovin’.
We have three copies to give away, if you’d like one leave a comment below with a valid email address and we’ll enter you into the drawing. Winners will be randomly chosen and announced on Friday.

Forgotten Artists: Goldie Hill Had Carl Smith and Goldie Hill been born 30 or 40 years later, they might have been like Faith Hill and Tim McGraw–the dominant married couple in country music.
Forgotten Artist: Wynn Stewart Both Buck Owens and Merle Haggard have cited Wynn Stewart as a major influence on their careers, yet somehow, he was never able to translate his enormous talent into extended and consistent success for himself.
Miranda Lambert - “More Like Her” This kind of material, as opposed to her tough-chick-done-wrong romps like “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Gunpowder and Lead,” is where her real promise lies
Joey Rory - “Cheater, Cheater” It’s actually downright frivolous, but that just makes it all the more fun. And really, are you allowed to say “ho” on country radio?
Josh Gracin - “Unbelievable (Ann Marie)” Despite initial marketing that touted the album as deep and personal, “Unbelievable (Ann Marie)” is anything but deep or personal.
Josh Turner - "Everything Is Fine" Turner is the rare example of an artist who records material that’s both quality and trademark.
Darryl Worley - "Tequila On Ice" A groovy mid-tempo that sways, a refreshing reprieve from the exhausting pace of a format that clamors for loud music and swelling choruses.
Blake Shelton - "She Wouldn't Be Gone" It’s all about nailing the melody rather than providing a legitimate interpretation that accentuates the lyrical content, although Shelton does do a pretty good job of injecting what limited emotion he can.
Don’t look now, but Darius Rucker, lead singer of 90s rock group Hootie & The Blowfish, has a country hit on his hands. What you probably haven’t heard is that Rucker is the first black artist to chart a single in the country top 20 since Charley Pride last did it in 1988.
News that former Sugarland member and co-founder Kristen Hall is suing her ex-mates, to the tune of $1.5 million, goes a long way towards providing a bit of context regarding the Atlanta singer/songwriter’s sudden departure from the group.
In Memory of Don Helms (1927 - 2008) Helms dated back to a time when an excellent four or five piece band and a good singer were all that were needed to make great country music. No drums, no light shows, no production tricks in the recording studio–just good music.
In this exclusive interview with The 9513, the Show Dog Records trio talks about growing up around Waylon and Jessi Colter, and about how those experiences have helped shaped their music as they set off on their own country music journey.
One of an emerging wave of artists empowered by decreasing production costs and a rapidly changing distribution landscape, Kelleigh Bannen has taken a do-it-yourself approach to her debut album, Radio Skies.Tagged In This Article

Just a rules clarification, since there seems to be a little confusion–it’s a random drawing–NOT the first three commenters. Everyone who leaves a comment in this thread will be eligible to win.

DESPERATELY trying to win some Shelby Lynn for my fabulous boyfriend’s half birthday!! PLEASE HELP! LOVES HER!!

Count me in. The tragic murder suicide of Shelby’s parents when she was a teenager inflicted emotional scars that Shelby has always tried to heal through her music. The sorrow in her eyes and voice have always lent itself better to some of the forms of music she’s experimented with than others, and it really seems to work this go round. Her sister Allison Moorer has found happiness as the current wife of Steve Earle and its now Shelby’s turn to experience some affirmation and commercial success beyond her previous achievements.

Ohh! I enjoyed listening to Shelby Lynne YEARS before she won her “Best New Artist” award!

Am I too late? You’ve introduced me to some really good music lately and while I’ve heard her name, I’ve not heard Shelby’s music. Just wanting to expand my horizons.

I’ve heard a lot ABOUT Shelby Lynne but never actually heard her. On my way over to Borders now for a listen……….

Big thanks to everyone who entered, unfortunately we only have the three copies to give away and the winners, all randomly chosen of course, were Tom, Peter Kohan and Lanibug65. Congrats to you guys.
We’ll undoubtedly be having more giveaways throughout the coming months so we hope everyone sticks around and participates in discussion so we know what kind of music we should give away.

Well, yeah for me — so is this a real CD or a download?

They’ll HAVE to give this stinker away. Awful.
