Like Memphis itself, the love that is the subject of 'Dusty in Memphis' is indeed bursting with the contrary: it happens not simply when you yearn for it, as in some adolescent dream, but when you're not prepared for it; it reveals itself not simply under the star-filled skies where a moon hangs low--in fact, as the first and last tracks on side one attest, it might be at its best when the sun's just arriving at work.. EXCERPTThe love that is the subject of 'Dusty in Memphis' is different from the love of her earlier songs: it is a love that is all at once diffuse, dark, unpredictable, ecstatic, and a terrible deal. Dusty in Memphis, Dusty Springfield's beautiful and bizarre magnum opus, remains as fine a hybrid of pop and rhythm and blues as has ever been made. It
Read his book, listen to his record, and you will too." -Stanley Booth, author of The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones“Sure, there are informative interviews with producer Jerry Wexler, and of course Zanes parses songs like ‘Son of a Preacher Man’ and ‘Breakfast in Bed.’ But it’s the twists and turns, the oddly illuminating vagaries in between, that make the book such a compulsive read. Zane’s approach is apropos for a record that was something of a masquerade—but was no less authentic or affecting for it.” -–The Boston Phoenix, 7/8/04 (Mike Miliard)"A heartfelt dive into the world of 60s R&B…dazzling." —Pop Culture Press"Zanes' dry analysis of Dusty Sp

This book is a little of both. The most interesting thing about the album Dusty in Memphis seems to be that is wasn't all that interesting to make, if you're looking at it with Zanes. It may be beautiful to listen to, but it's simply a gr. Beats a cup of coffee What was so special about Memphis that producer Jerry Wexler took the diva of British pop there and created pop magic? Warren Zanes, 1980s teenage rock star in the Del Fuegos turned PhD (cultural studies) in the 1990s, has written a small book to find out, the first in a series on classic albums. Continuum offers its writers a lot more space than Greil Marcus did in Stranded - 32,000 words by my count - and Zanes uses it brilliantly.His essay isn't academic deconstruction but a mix of personal passion, acute perceptions and old-fashioned journalistic leg work. Being a musician help. "A Labor of Love" according to A Customer. Glancing through the reviews already posted, it's easy to see that repsonse to Zanes' book is quite polarized: half love it, half hate it. This at least suggests that the book has been provocative.I loved Zanes on Dusty in Memphis because it's a work of true rock criticism, rather than the kind of lick-spittle-ism (as The Simpsons' Montgomery Burns would call it) that some of the die-hard Dusty fans seem to be insisting on.
