Shelby Lynne recorded this album on tape. Here's her reasoning.
I'm wondering, with the world getting faster and more complicated, if soft music will be increasingly more popular as an antidote. Here's how it sounds:

She is a real talent and I'm lucky to have gotten to do a gig with her. She is fearless!

She's amazing. Not in a place to listen right now, but looking forward to it.

Love the low end. Good for her, I admire that.
My best sound ever was on a 16" 2 track through a Trident console in the early 80's. I sure can do a lot more at home by myself now with my digital rig, but it does suck in some ways. That's why on my recent tracks I've reached out to fellow musicians to help and add their own spice to it, even though I can do it all myself. It way better with other players.

the relevance of this post is Shelby. this was my real introduction to her when I saw it on tv last year. it is one of the most profoundly beautiful things I have ever heard and seen:

She's amazing...... I had to run an Otari tape machine for years... it was the only way we cut drums and it was part of our sound. There was a time when we got into doing a lot of blues records for a label that had something to do with Dan Ackroyd, anyways, those bands we would cut their entire record on tape and it was absolutely glorious. I used to love vocals cut to tape... we would do an La2a behind that Soundelux I sold to Ragan and the singer would sound done, nothing else needed, just hit the tape machine and bend over into the red a tad and it was done.
What she says though about most producers wanting to do it in the comp because of cost is true though... it wasn't logical for us to cut every band to tape, we didn't have a ton of it and it was really expensive. I attribute it to saving the 18 year old Scotch for the big clients, and protools was the Chivas.
I still haven't gotten used to cutting at low volumes... crazy how it's the exact opposite, the lower you cut to digital the more potential you have, the hotter you cut to tape the less noise and natural compression.

Found some iphone footage of our gig! We rehearsed in her room for an hour and a half set for about ten minutes. She is literally fearless. I had a blast playing with that kind of go for it mentality.

Just a Little Lovin' was recorded in 2008. FWIW. 2011 might've been the audiophile SACD and vinyl remaster of it....but, it's 8 years old.
I know because I bought it both times. Three times, in fact....2008 CD.....sometime later the Lost Highway vinyl.....and a few years ago the SACD. It's a lovely album, for sure. I use it as a reference for what modern tape recordings should sound like....
I would also point out that she had the balls to put the dynamic range BACK INTO her 1999 "I Am Shelby" for the anniversary edition. Lovely.
