Shelby Lynne Live


Shelby Lynne came to Ann Arbor earlier this week and gave an absolutely wonderful performance. She was promoting her latest album, "Just A Little Lovin'", but she performed songs from all her recent albums. She was backed by an excellent guitar/bass/drums trio. Ms. Lynne has a great voice and she really knows how to use it. She sings with a lot of feeling, but doesn't go over the top.

She said that the Ann Arbor date was the last show until they hit the road again sometime in early 2009. I highly recommend her if she comes to your town.

Helby "can't roll a joint on an iPod" Lynne

I've listened for the tape bleed through on my LP but haven't heard it. Where exactly is it in the song and what should I be listening for?
Saw her late last month at the Mexicali Blues Cafe in Teaneck NJ. Great show with about 75 enthusiastic listeners. I particularly liked the songs she did off the new record. BTW, you can hear the bleed through on the tape particularly well right before she sings "This old world..." on the title track. I'm not sure how well it will come through on the vinyl version, which I hear is not the best quality pressing. This is one that for some reason I bought on CD and the sound is very good.
I saw Shelby in Fall River, too, and, yes, she was great. All the guys in her band are real friendly and her guitarist John Jackson (also toured with Lucinda for "Car Wheels" and Dylan before that) helped me deliver a clean original LP copy of "Buck Owens at Carnegie Hall" which she had been looking for.
See her if you can.
I believe there has a been a recent re-pressing on vinyl. I don't know which pressing I have, but it has quite a bit of surface noise. Still sounds good though.
