Shelby Lynne: Tears, Lies & Alibis

Only a little bit country Despite her time-toughened twang and tunes about loneliness, betrayal and the road, Shelby Lynne is country only by association. A Nashville veteran who made five industry albums in the 90s, she hit it big only after leaving town and is now the proud owner of her own label, with many styles at her command: gritty southern soul, grittier folk and blues and—very unexpectedly—power-pop....  read more

One on One: 20 Single-Artist Cover Albums Worth A Listen

A well-done cover song is a beautiful thing—and, by extension, so is a compilation of tracks by a slew of musicians paying tribute to one of their heroes. But it takes a special combination of love and guts and a hearty dash of hubris for a single artist to tackle the oeuvre of another—whether a friend or a legend—all by their lonesome.

20 Signs of Life From 2003

In 2000, when Shelby Lynne returned to recording after an absence of some five years, she chose to name her comeback I Am Shelby Lynne. The title was a definite statement; a declaration—“this music is who I am.” It doubtless looked back on a time when she was in Nashville making her first records, a time during which she battled with her label over her music's direction. So what can one make of her new record's title, which, thematically, seems a complete reversal from the message I Am conveyed? Why did she choose Identity Crisis? “I didn’t name it,” she...  read more
