Day 0045 - A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield "A girl called Dusty" (1964)



A nice, tight, concise pop album. Apparently Dusty had quite diverse musical tastes.  She had been in a girl-pop group, then played in a folk group with her brother. During her time in the latter group she got introduced to soul music which opened her eyes/mind a bit and factored into her decision to go solo.

And so we come to this first solo album which musically (for the time) had quite a lot of guts to it, with the power of Dusty's voice not found wanting against the rocking soulful material.
