There was a time when Shelby Lynne had red hair and bounced around Nashville waiting to expose her music to the world. It has been twelve years since the release of her 1993 breakthrough record Temptation, the best of Lynne's first five albums under the country banner. In that time, especially the past six years, Lynne has been on a long journey of self-discovery, trying to find the right music that suits her well written songs. Along with a hairstyle to fit it.
Lynne's now a blonde. Maybe the change was a right move. Her 2000 release, I Am Shelby Lynne, proved she could explore different musical boundaries while maintaining a country passion. Her 2003 release Identity Crisis was, if not, the greatest country album of the year. And so, now, Lynne cuts deeper into her musical array and breaks from tradition to unload a new wrapped up package titled, Suit Yourself. Her fourth studio album in six years.
If your looking for a conventional studio album; I suggest you look elsewhere. This album drives more from a style of a one band jam session then an attempt to investigate the different walls of sounds. It's what sets this album aside from all her others. It's the same kind uniqueness that you can come to aspect from this influential and intelligent singer/songwriter.
The album begins with some chatter from Lynne and her musicians as they dropkick into the opening track, Go With It. The bar band type jam is quickly replaced as she breaks down into a Donavon-like folk style of Where Am I Now? Lynne could just about sing the textbook of popular music as she lets loose on tracks like, Old Time Sake, You Don't Have A Heart and Sleep. If your looking for her typical sincere honesty in her music, the tribute to the late Johnny Cash and June Carter, Johnny Met June, makes for some great listening. The song was written on the same day of Cash's passing and has the significant promise of devoted love and hope. Lynne can carry a tune unlike any these days. She's spices up a bluesy howl of Janis Joplin on the track, I Cry Everyday, and she's quite the Waylon Jennings on Iced Tea. What makes Lynne so appealing, is the simple fact that she doesn't care what music she plays. It just comes so naturally to her. It feels so right to listen too also.
Lynne has become much more of a musician's musician during her last couple of albums. She has a certain feel for music that not to many other established musicians have. With a wealth of musical knowledge and a pot of songs to her credit, Lynne is a one woman extraordinaire. She allows the listener to judge for themselves whether or not her music means anything to them. All she does is give out some great R&B, a dose of blues, a little bit of country, with a whole lot of sass. If you don't like it, well then, suit yourself.
