I Am Shelby Lynne
, August 18, 2001Reviewer: beatbox_music - See all beatbox_music's reviewsNot many albums take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotion and not many artists have the depth or feeling to take you there. Shelby Does!!!. From the tongue in cheek of angels looking cool like her to the pain of Leavin' you feel every emotion of this Alabama lady. You can sense the proudness of her routes in Where I'm From and the bitterness in Your Lies. If you want your music to grab your soul then go and buy this album. Believe me it will!!!

Pro Reviews: I Am Shelby Lynne
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews After years of kicking around Nashville to great acclaim but nonexistent sales, Shelby Lynne got fed up with the system and reinvented herself on I Am Shelby Lynne as a tough and sexy singer, equal parts Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow. Though this album is undeniably classicist in approach, borrowing from classic RB, country, soul, and rock roll, it's cleverly constructed, as producer Bill Bottrell gives it a wonderful, warm production graced by slight contemporary flourishes (such as the rolling rhythms behind "Thought It Would Be Easier") that keep it fresh, not entrenched in history (even though its succinct ten tracks and half-hour running time are welcome holdovers from classic rock). Ultimately, of course, the triumph of the record belongs to Lynne, who finally sounds comfortable in her writing and voice. This music is so warm and welcoming, it's easy to overlook the darker themes running through the songs, particularly because Lynne's greatest strength is that she never oversings, shading her phrasing and drawing listeners in with her easy confidence and sexy rasp. This isn't an album that flaunts its strengths -- it's expertly constructed, subtle music that grows in stature with each spin, revealing Lynne as a trad rocker of uncommon skill and charm. It may have taken her years to finally find her groove, but I Am Shelby Lynne is so good, the wait seems worthwhile. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

For a really interesting and fun time, listen to this album and then to her sister Allison Moorer's "The Hardest Part" and marvel at the way they turn the exact same material into such completely different music.
PS:
Annie Leiboweitz is doing a photo spread of Shelby and Allison for the October issue of Vanity Fair.
PPS:
Faith Hill is who the people who make up alterna-country are alternative to.
PPSS:
Perhaps Shelby was a little pissed about winning the grammy for best new album on her EIGHTH album. She might have been happier winning is 15 years ago when she really was new. ...
