Pros: One of the definitive female singer/songwriter statements of the past two decades. Cons: None worth nitpicking about.
For some, the Grammy Awards represent everything that's wrong with popular music. Critics love to carp about the seemingly boneheaded decisions that the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences make when choosing nominees and winners. However, ...
When I think of country music I think sadness, I think love, I think my wife left me and took my dog. The first two criterion, fit into Shelby Lynne’s album I Am Shelby Lynne. I’m not a real true die-hard fan of country music, but...
Pros: Proof that Country music - scratch that - MUSIC can still be great Cons: Unfortunately, most consumers will say "Shelby Who?"
Sometimes I'll inexplicably ignore an artist or an album for no fathomable reason whatsoever. Shelby Lynne's masterpiece I Am Shelby Lynne represents one of these gross oversights - accolades for this album have filled my ears since the beginning...
Pros: Some very good writing, smoky, bluesy vocals Cons: No evidence of what she's capable of vocally
I have loved Shelby Lynne for many years. I own every CD. I've taped her on every show I knew she would be on. I have seen her bring a crowd to its feet with one note. I have watched her get on her knees, and grab the leg of Sam Moore while doing a...
Pros: A bold talent, Lynne finally found the perfect marriage of lyrics, melody and passion in this breakthrough, breakaway release Cons: She's all over the musical map, but that means there's enough here to please just about everyone
Shelby Lynne takes a deep breath, waits a beat, then lets passion rip right out of her throat in the first cut on her latest CD. Your Lies is a scorching scorned-woman number that comes at us with all the bravura and bravado of Aretha Franklin or...
Pros: Lynne's huge voice; a throwback to the excellent soul sound of Dusty Springfield Cons: For a declaration of self, it sometimes lacks direction.
Tammy Wynette once referred to Shelby Lynne as "country music's best voice." High praise, indeed, coming from a woman largely regarded as among music royalty.
Throughout the 1990s, however, it seemed that most people just didn't know how to...
Pros: excellent voice. fun songs. life is bad. your lies....i could go on, but i won't because i'd like you to read the review Cons: not much humor
"Eww. She sounds like Sheryl Crow," cringed my friend as she listened to "Life is Bad" off Shelby Lynne's new cd, "I am Shelby Lynne". I rolled my eyes accordingly.
I will admit, I was dubious when I first read an...
Pros: It's a Shelby Lynne recording and it will wear on you, good laid back listening Cons: No Powerhouse vocals that I have gotten so accustomed to when listening to her music.
Let me just say that whatever it is that Shelby is singing, chances are I am listening! "I Am Shelby Lynne" just might not be her best vocal work ever, but it sure is her most serious, heartfelt and in your face CD she...
Pros: A change in style that reveals a deeper, more soulful side to Lynne. Cons: New style may be too much of a change for her long time fans
I was working at a record store part-time back in '91 when I first heard Shelby Lynne. This store's biggest sellers was R&B/Hip-Hop, so that was all we played for customers day in and day out. One night, as a joke, somebody popped in SOFT TALK,...
Pros: She sings from the heart, does anyone do that anymore? Cons: It's only 34 minutes long...what's that about?
I had never heard of Shelby Lynne, I had even managed to avoid the hype about her somehow. So when Grammy time came around, I was surprised to hear people saying that she had already been around for like 13 years or something with 6 albums out. Still, I...
Pros: Great Vocals, Great Artist Cons: Only 10 Tracks!!!
Shelby Lynne is one of those rare artist that goes against all the trends and fads and even record labels to produce the kind of music she wants. "I Am Shelby Lynne" is the 2000 release from this amazing artist, and is full of terrific music....
Pros: astounding soul Cons: an overly clean production
A wall of sound kicks off "I Am Shelby Lynne", in the form of "Your Lies," a song which seems to be as far from down-home country as easy listening is to heavy metal. But let's not lose sight of two things in this analogy. The first...
Pros: Several decent songs give promise of future greatness? Cons: Zzzzzz - why all the hype?
I saw Shelby Lynn on Conan O'Brien one night, during a bout with insomnia. Was I in a haze, a weird dream state? She oozed sexuality, rocking out with a band ( I didn't even know she was a solo artist then ). She seemed like Bonnie Raitt's younger...
Pros: strong, descriptive lyrics, beautiful vocals Cons: over produced at times, too short
Shelby Lynne has finally escaped the strangle hold of Nashville so why is she still categorized as country? This southern girl has definitely been set free, I only wish more people were aware of this amazing talent. I have never been a fan of country...
