Shelby Lynne I Am Shelby Lynne (25th Anniversary Edition) LP (Natural Color Vinyl)

Limited edition colored vinyl celebrating 25 years of GRAMMY-award winner Shelby Lynne's album, I Am Shelby Lynne.

Released in April 1999, I Am Shelby Lynne served as a major turning point and breakthrough for Lynne leading to her winning Best New Artist at the 43rd GRAMMY Awards. Produced by Bill Bottrell, the record's impact remains felt today with NPR Music recently selecting it as one of "The 150 Greatest Albums Made By Women," praising, "As both song interpreter and songwriter, she had a revelatory angle on self-regulated, southern-accented expression." Additionally, The Washington Post called the album, "a thing of raw and passionate perfection," while Stereogum praised, "Lynne forged a path not so that others would follow her, but so they could forge their own."

Since her 1989 debut, Lynne has been named Top New Female Vocalist at the 26th Annual ACM Awards, been featured in numerous movies and TV shows (including Golden Globe-winning film, Walk the Line) and performed alongside artists such as Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson, Lyle Lovett, her sister Allison Moorer and many more.

This music is so warm and welcoming, it's easy to overlook the darker themes running through the songs, particularly because Lynne's greatest strength is that she never oversings, shading her phrasing and drawing listeners in with her easy confidence and sexy rasp. This isn't an album that flaunts its strengths — it's expertly constructed, subtle music that grows in stature with each spin, revealing Lynne as a trad rocker of uncommon skill and charm.
