Brand New Me really is a wonderful album. In fact i'd say it's on a par with Dusty In Memphis

I'm guessing Cameo is too? It's only a couple of notches below

Glad to see some love for Brand New Me, it really is a great album. I had the reissue but sold it a couple of years ago for quite a lot, got myself a vinyl copy instead. I'm interested in hearing Cameo if it's almost as good.

They really should reissue a few of her albums. White Heat goes for a lot these days, not really a big fan of that one though.

Dusty sings Kate Bush "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" live in 1979!

I love both Kate and Dusty but something about this

Picked this up on Amazon for $8 after hearing a friend spin "Little By Little" on his radio show last week, and yeah OTM. Outside of a handful of tracks I had on various artists comps, pre-Atlantic Dusty was a huge blindspot in my collection. Oh how I wish I hadn't slept on this stuff for so long! o_O at her voice emerging from the backing vocals on "Some Of Your Lovin'".

I know there's a lot to choose from, but I could slip off and die to her version of "Windmills of Your Mind," if that's not perfection then I don't know

Wow, "Breakfast in Bed" is by far my least-favourite on Dusty in Memphis, and I really love "Land of Make Believe" and "I Can't Make It Alone", which aren't on your list.

Ha, Breakfast in Bed would also be my #1. It does seem to stand out among that set of tracks, for good or ill.

I'd call the song blowzy.

Dusty's brother, Tom Springfield, who wrote most of the Seekers' hits was born with the splendid name Dionysius Patrick O'Brien.

Good one. Almost one for People Or Characters With Roman Middle Names

Alfred's review got me to this:

Had never heard the Philly---"Let Me Get In Your Way"! Will have to check more of that. Also didn't know her with Jeff Barry.
