Won’t Be Long/Oh No Not My Baby/Long After Tonight Is All Over/La Bamba/Who Can I Turn To/Doodlin’/If It Don’t Work Out/That’s How Heartaches Are Made/It Was Easier To Hurt Him/I’ve Been Wrong Before/I Can’t Hear You/I Had A Talk With My Man/Packin’ Up

Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty was the follow up album from Britain's most highly regarded vocalist Dusty Springfield, featuring a variety of different song genres. (UK:6)

"While including a number of fairly standard pop songs, Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty also saw Springfield venturing more into show tunes like Who Can I Turn To as well as the soul music for which she became so well-known for singing: Doodlin'. and That's How Heartaches Are Made."

"Dusty Springfield has one of the most beautiful, vulnerable and flexible voices in pop music history. Combined with her innate ear for music and a gift for soul and rhythm, she is unparalleled."

"All tracks are wonderful, but stand-outs are a rousing gospel-tinged Won't Be Long, a perfectly delivered, but rather obscure Bacharach/David tune called Long After Tonight Is All Over and the most curiously fun song, Doodlin."

"Dusty knows how to pick material and this LP shows her voice and all her qualities in the best of all lights. The most impressive track is the most quiet; I've Been Wrong Before is the most heartbreaking version of a breathtakingly beautiful song."

"Arguably her best ever, or at least a close second. Since this album appeared in 1965 it has remained my personal favourite, The reason; the choice of songs are consistently first-rate."

"There are many great songs here, some of which are also covers, but it really doesn't matter whether they are or not. If you enjoy Dusty's music and want to go beyond her hit singles, you will love this."

"Ev'rything's Coming Up Dusty is a roller coaster ride, it dips and it dives, it shoots over the rooftops. This 1965 LP is a must for collectors as well as curious 60s music fans."
