Review Comments: 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 !
Genre Busting Brilliancy

Review Comments: 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 price of (about) $12.99 is a complete bargain. Don't pay attention to the jilted country fans in these reviews. Thanks to this album's brilliance I bought the rest of her catalog and the records before this one are bland and too simple. "I am Shelby Lynne" is heads and shoulders better than her earlier work. Bravo!
Shelby Lynne is one of a kind

Review Comments: 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!
Fabulous!

Review Comments: 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 her extraordinary talent.
Words fail me

Review Comments: This is the first time ever I don't know what to say about a CD. Whatever I write will fall way short of how brilliant and full of life 'I Am Shelby Lynne' is. Even the terms "brilliant" and "full of life" don't do this CD justice.
So, all I will write is you owe it to yourself to buy this CD. Your life will be richer for it.
