If you came late to Shelby, and you're looking for more of the harsh, changeable, sublime stuff you found on "I am Shelby Lynne," you owe it to yourself to check out Shelby in an earlier incarnation. I have them all, but this is my favorite. It's also nothing like her most recent work. This CD features a full-on swing orchestra with steel guitars and fiddles, and Shelby's great big alto booming out over impeccable instrumentation. Get it while you can, because if you love her voice, you'll never hear it featured more beautifully than in these arrangements.

This is the best new music that I have heard in years. Shelby Lynn's style differs from all the new age stuff that I have listened to. New age music seems to surround the listener while Shelby's sound will penetrate you. Her voice has incredible range and power. Her band reminds me of Lyle Lovett's Large Band. She mixes horns, violins, piano and guitars with such artistry that every time I listen to a specific cut, I hear something new. If you like music that will literally move you then treat yourself and buy a copy. Treat your friends and buy them one too. I can't wait for her new release.

"Feeling kind of Lonely tonight" is one of the best swing songs that anyone could hope to have a chance to dance to. The whole family would dance to this on family night at the local country dance place. Ms. Lynne has a resonance that is beyond comparison, she is wonderful!

This is western swing at its best. Shelby Lynne belts it out like no other singer can. She'll keep your toes tappin' and your spirits high with this fabulous cd.

I guess so, 'cause I'm listening to this album as I type. From the gorgeous cover photo, and the opening bars of the title cut, we know we're not in for standard country fare. Shelby has long given us genre bending music [not gender bending; that's Katy Peery...Shelby is always definitely a girl], and this 1993 release is but one example. After the opening "Temptation", the next two cuts, "Feelin' Kind of Lonely Tonight", and "Tell Me I'm Crazy" have a more country feel. At the other end, "Come a Little Closer", and "Where Do We Go From Here" have a blues quality.

Shelby Lynne is a treasure...her roots are country, but you can in no wise classify her with one word. [True of her kid sister, Allison Moorer, as well]. Look at her cover pictures over the years; very pretty, not pretty at all, and two or three different ways to say "sexy". This MAY be her best...that's opinion anyway, but Shelby's records are just too different one from the other to make it easy. The picture, the music, even the extraneous chatter...all done well. Enjoy.....
