"[When I was living
in Amsterdam] I used to put on the saddest music I could find and put my
head between the speakers just so that it would make me weep . . It was
Enya, actually, or Tchaikovsky. Which'd really do it any day - overlooking
the canals with the rain falling into them, my head between the speakers,
just letting it out ....
[Laughs] I don't suggest that
people do that with my records, but it's certainly a good thing to do with
Tchaikovsky."

Reputation
& Rarities
Released,
1998
This
is a re-release of Dusty's 1990 hit album, REPUTATION, produced by the
Pet Shop Boys.
With
her soulful, haunting voice riding perfectly on top of the
techno-pop arrangements, this album demonstrates again the scope
of her talent. This "must have" album is great fun and has been re-released
with additional tracks from the original recording sessions.

A
Very Fine Love
Recorded
in 1995, this wasDusty's last studio recording. Although not a country
album, it was recored in Nashville. With her voice as expressive as ever,
this is a "quiet" gem.

Something
Special
There
are many Dusty anthologies to explore. This one is interesting because
it contains very few of her hits, but an a lot of seldom heard ( i.e. Dusty
singing in French) and previously unreleased material. The
enormous range of material makes this worth listening to again and again.
