If you think soul singing is about wailing up and down the scales (as seems to be the current trend), just listen to this album. Her voice embraces and caresses each song. Just one listen will convince you that Dusty was the best female singer the UK ever produced. Not only that, here she is backed by the cream of 60s Atlantic R&B players. The typically modest Dusty didn't believe she deserved to be in such company. As another great female artist once said, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone". Your collection isn't complete without 'Dusty In Memphis'.

An amazing album which deserves it's accolades as a piece of magical timless music, and this new remaster has a clear edge over the previous Rhino 1990 version. However one star docked in dedication to the eejit (Paul Reidy?) who decided we would rather have eight repeat mono tracks of lower quality sound rather than the three contemporary and tasty additional songs which appeared on the 1990 Rhino edition. Go figure. Those 1990 tracks added to the original collection; these mono mixes just disappoint.
Nonetheless, this is a superb original album, along with engaging sleeve notes and a better sound than ever realised before. If you have the 1990 Rhino version, you may need to keep both editions, courtesy of another careless record company decision.

If you do love Soul music, then this represents a new take on things. Here Dusty works with some of the most famous of Southern Soul's musicians, and the legendary Tom Dowd and Jerry Wexler, to produce a new type of Soul.
The greatest compliment I can pay Dusty is that this stands comparison with Aretha - but where Aretha lets it all go, Dusty uses control and implies the emotion. There is little doubt that the various performers bring out the best in one another.
There are superb notes to accompany the wonderful music, with Elvis Costello introducing the set, and memoirs from Tom Dowd, Arif Marden, and Jerry Wexler as well as Dusty herself.
Stand out tracks for me are "So Much Love", I Don't Wanna Hear It", and "No Easy Way Down", but this is a fine album, representing the best that 60's music had to offer
