Shelby Lynne Live

Thanks for the posts. I am anxiously waiting for her to have a show in Dallas or Austin, TX. I will most definetly attend. Her latest CD is one of the best CDs I've heard in a long time. Outstanding interpretations of Dusty Springfield's material. Great band backing her up. Sonics are excellent too. From her web-site it turns out that she is a fan of vinyl and analog tape! How cool is it to hear the tape "bleed through" on "Just a Little Lovin"? And I thought I loved her for her voice and beauty! I must admit that I envy Oneinthepipe for having spent that much time just 15 feet from Ms. Lynne! Wow.

At one point early in the concert she asked the people in the first row if any of them had a turntable? She then gave an autographed vinyl copy of her latest album to a woman who raised her hand. Shelby then quipped, "ya' know, digital sucks."

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.
