    Not surprisingly, this is as personal, maybe even more so, and autobiographical as any of her output. It’s not far removed from her excellent 2011 Revelation Road either. ... This recording is a huge reminder that Shelby Lynne is not only one of the most fiercely independent artists of our time. She’s clearly one of our best singers too.

    Shelby Lynne is a profound meditation on amorous complexity and cost; it's arguably the most powerful record in the songwriter's catalog.

    Shelby Lynne carves out just one aspect of its creator's versatility. At times (as with the ending), it can feel a little thin, but Lynne's personality and vocal skills carry it through.

It snuck up on me. The Fiona Apple is a masterpiece of course... but I kept returning to this over and over again. There are some classics on this album. And shelby’s voice is angelic with an edge. Wouldn’t surprise me if this would end up in my top three list at the end of the year... Expand
