DUSTY. . .DEFINITELY ~
Philips (UK) never released this classic gem to the USA.
It was Springfield's last album on the label.
August 1968
I can't leave Dusty Springfield without playing "No Easy Way Down"
from her seminal album Dusty in Memphis.
"Son of a Preacher Man"
that John Hurly and Ronnie Wilkins wrote for Aretha Franklin
(the daughter of a preacher man) but she curiously rejected the song
(and picked it up again in 1970) whereas Springfield garnered herself a hit is also on this album, better known, but "No Easy Way Down"
kills it for me every time.

BORN IN U.K. ~
PJ Harvey recorded "The Mess We're In" a year after Dusty Springfield passed away to breast cancer in 1999. Springfield was an Irish lass born (1939) in the UK as Mary Isabel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien and her soul and voice rivaled anyone's anywhere. PJ Harvey is likewise UK born (1969) and her career continues on course. On this track she is joined by Thom Yorke. Both tracks skim the ceiling.
