I Am Shelby Lynne

 


2022 Charity Shop Purchases #22 - Shelby Lynne - I Am Shelby Lynne

Well actually I am Charity Chic, but I digress

There are a few Shelby Lynne CDs on the shelves and I could have sworn blind that I Am Shelby Lynne was one of them. This glaring omission was highlighted during my cataloguing and was rectified by a 50p purchase in the Wigtown Community Shop.

50p well spent as it is very good indeed. I've always had her down as  primarily a country singer but this one has more of a blues and soul feel about it, something she repeated with Just a Little Lovin' her 2008 tribute to Dusty Springfield.

I Am Shelby Lynne was released in 1998 on the Mercury label in the UK and on Island in the  US. Given the title you could be forgiven for thinking that it is her debut album but it is in fact her 6th album the first being as far back as 1989.This is the one which shot her to fame though.

    1. Think there may be a drop down function on the right where you can leave your name?

  2. I was confused by the title of the post, I thought you were having an identity crisis

    1. If Ms Lynne sports a beard it might be difficult to tell you two apart, though

  5. This was the first time I had knowingly listened to Shelby Lynne...I've a feeling she's appeared on Spotify lists in south side coffee shops.....she was almost exactly what I imagined. Sounds as if the CD was worth 50p.
