Dusty Springfield - Dusty (1964)
Hello Sports Fans!Touted as America's newest
The first four oustanding tracks would all sound right at home on one of your "break up" mix tapes that you made back in high school. "All Cried Out", "I Wish I'd Never Loved You", "Can I Get a Witness" and the epic-sounding, "Summer is Over" are all pretty amazing!
The rest of the album gets a little sugary, but the highlight of the record is the closing number: an emotional and raucous rendition of the Burt Bacharach & Hal David break-up ballad, "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself."
Overall, this is a good 60's pop album that lays the groundwork for the big, soulful sounds that she would become much more famous for later in the decade.
In case you're interested, here's a clip of the White Stripes performing "IJDKWTDWM" live in Glastonbury in 2005.
