Shelby Lynne is most often categorized as a “Country” singer but I dispute that. Her songs on her new CD, I Can’t Imagine, have plenty of folk influences, too. I’ve been a fan of Shelby Lynne since her 1999 album, I Am Shelby Lynne, which won a Grammy. Shelby Lynne’s Dusty Springfield tribute album, Just a Little Lovin’, is underrated. Allison Moorer, one of my favorite singers, is Shelby Lynne’s sister. If you’re looking for some entertaining, mellow music, here it is. Check out “Sold the Devil” below. GRADE: B+

Okay, you sold me. I’ll give this CD a listen today.
Bill, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
I don’t have this CD but when I get it, I won’t be surprised. I’ve been a fan for quite a while. But I didn’t know Allison Moorer was Shelby Lynne’s sister. That was a surprise!
