Baring the Soul
I will always remember Lynne's breakthrough album, released in 2000, I am Shelby Lynne - an announcement of self that she has been sustaining over the years in the self-naming of covers and the sounthern soulful intensity of her self-revelations.
This latest, almost anonymous release (apart from that naming), takes on familiars and gives them a generally stripped down authority, accompanied by an occasional gospel-esque chorus. The first few numbers give a clue to the selection: Go Tell It On The Mountain, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Amazing Grace, When The Saints Go Marching In...
Bluesy too; soulful sass. Other reviews of her work here.
