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.

As much as we love girl singers, we love songs about girl singers even more. Here's just a few of the many tribute songs out there.
Step away from the river and up to a jukebox, because heartbreak is only temporary, but a good song about drowning yourself—like a diamond—lasts forever.
Who sings like dead flowers? Find out the answer to that question and many more in June's mailbag.
What do you think about music labels "testing the waters" with a single before providing access to an artist's entire album? 
What country artist, young or old, would you recommend as a must-listen artist to a newcomer on his/her journey through country music, and what would your essential song picks be?
Miranda Lambert - "Dead Flowers" "Dead Flowers" marks the maturation of a phenomenally talented but still budding songwriter into a full-fledged artistic powerhouse.
Taylor Hicks - "Seven Mile Breakdown" Hicks has soul, but this record doesn't. It's a disappointing entry from one of American Idol's least disappointing attempt-a-crossover artists.
For episode four, we feature a couple of acts who have been helped along the way by winning talent competitions. Darryl Lee Rush was the inaugural victor of the Shiner Rising Star Contest and Caitlin & Will were victorious on last summer's Can You Duet from CMT. 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.

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.

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.
