Editorial Review:
Amazon.com's Best of 2000:
The boldly named I Am Shelby Lynne may serve as an introduction to a gifted vocalist for most, but the one-time Nashville phenom has more than a decade of recording experience under her belt. Still, in many ways this is an introduction to a new talent. This time out, the Alabama-reared singer-songwriter refused to live up to anyone's expectations but her own, expertly melding soul, rock, pop, and country strains into an eye-opening set that demands to be addressed on its own terms. --Steven Stolder
Amazon.com:
Shelby Lynne is an anachronism in the best sense of the word. Alabama-born, this twentysomething singer is in love with classic pop and soul, the kind sung by Dusty in Memphis and Aretha in Muscle Shoals. Working here with producer Bill Bottrell, Lynne has fashioned a remarkable album of orchestral epics ("Your Lies"), lazy-afternoon dance music ("Thought It Would Be Easier"), and gorgeous, bluesy ballads ("Lookin' Up," "Black Light Blue"). Most of the album's 10 songs are firmly rooted in the '60s and '70s, but Bottrell's production and Lynne's still-wet-from-sex voice guarantee that the album sounds time-capsule fresh instead of past-expiration-date retro. While Lynne has made fine albums before--1993's big-band and Western-swing CD Temptation is particularly good--I Am Shelby Lynne is the best work yet by a singer as stubbornly committed to musical tradition, and as defiantly out of step with country music trends, as another former Nashville maverick, Lyle Lovett. --Keith Moerer

She is a very fine singer, however this thing is so overproduced and lacks any organic quality that would come from real musicians playing real drums and bass. Hell, maybe there are real musicians and they're just calling it in. At any rate there are maybe 2 or 3 good tracks, and even those are really too mechanical sounding even though the vocal is fine. Shelby is good enough that they should spend more $ and really produce something with real playing on it. Rather than just maximize the loot. ... Read More

Except for the first annoying, obviously made for top 40 radio play , 'no lies' which i recommend evreyone immediately skip over, this album is absolutelY OUTSTANDING ! Not too many females have attempted the genres that Shelby Lynne has. Let it be for her listener to determine that !

I first learned of Shelby Lynne in a Rolling Stone Magazine article just after this record was released and decided to seek it out. I cannot say enough good things about this album. Quite simply, I FEEL the emotion that she has about the song topics and talk about continuity! This is one of the most cohesive albums that I have ever heard! It is 8 years later and my wife and I still listen to this once a month. We have gotten so much mileage from the CD we should have paid $100 for it. Its actual ... Read More

I can't add any better words to all the rich descriptions said about her and this album from others, except that she is one of a kind. Anything she does is unique and connects. The only other singer/songwriter I felt drawn to because of his unique sound and story-telling is Cat Stevens. It's because they both sing with raw emotion and passion and their lyrics are so dang profound! Get this album. Get all of 'em!

I purchased this CD after hearing and loving Shelby's "Just A Little Lovin" set, and I was not disappointed. "I Am Shelby Lynne" is really a great recording with a nice variety of music, yet it all features a laid back, no pretense, total disregard for what should be popular, and in place of commercialism, one gets a totally honest set of songs, well crafted and well performed. I understand now why people have been raving about Shelby Lynne all these years, and I regret that it took me so long to discover ... Read More
