Summary: Fabulous
Comment: I agree that this is THE best she has ever done. My favorite would have to be "Tell Me I'm Crazy". What a voice.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful Singer / Even Better CD!
Comment: This is an absolutely wonderful CD by a soulful country singer. She has such a great sound that reaches you when you listen. If you haven't heard her, you should give her a try: two favorite songs of hers: Til a better memory comes along & A Heart to come home to. Wonderful songs.

Summary: I'm tempted
Comment: I've had this CD for a long time. Shelby has the most beautiful and seductive voice and as always I'm amazed that she's not at the top of the charts. This collection is consistently great, and stylistically different from most of her work. I was listening to it again today years after I got it and voila 5 stars for me.

Summary: An Overlooked Singer
Comment: I don't understand why this woman is not a big star. It is true, she should had never recorded "Love, Shelby" the album she did with Alanis's producer. However, most of her materials are awesome and this is one of them and its great to step back and appreciate this gem of an album.
This is the album where Shelby paid tribute to "swing-country" and she does a wonderful job with the materials. This is not an easy style of music, but Shelby has the natural soul and voice to pull these songs off. Shelby's latest albums are great too...more bluesy and folky with a blend of rock and country.
Do yourself a favor and collect all her materials.

Summary: Country Swing Set
Comment: With Shelby Lynne's fine new release "Suit Yourself" jamming CD changers, it's been fun to go back into her earlier recordings and find what excellent quality characterizes her recorded catalog. "Temptation" is a wonderful country swing blowout that sounds fresh 12 years after its initial release. Lynne excels on the slow weepers like "I Need A Heart to Come Home To" penned by Russell Smith & John Jarvis, "I need a sweet sweetheart like you." Jamie O'Hara's "Come A Little Closer" has his throbbing brand of country rock with a wild horn chart. My two favorites are the title track opener penned by Shelby, Jamie O'Hara & producer Brent Maher and the slow "Tell Me I'm Crazy" that allows Lynne a full emotional range with the understated chorus that opens a full-blown river of tears that'd make Patsy Cline turn up the radio. "Feelin' Kind of Lonely Tonight" was the single. "Temptation" is an excellent country swing set that bubbles with energy & verve. Enjoy!

Only after leaving Nashville did Shelby Lynne reinvent herself as a soulful R&B singer. During her Music City days of the early '90s, she gained critical raves that didn't translate into wider success. One reason was this fetching 1993 Nashville-produced album of big-band Western swing, produced by Brent Maher, which appeared long before the words swing revival crossed anyone's lips. It revealed Lynne's assets in a stronger showcase than her earlier Epic recordings. She's radiant and sensual on the torchy "Little Unlucky at Love," but the uninhibited swing tunes, including her explosive performance of the title number, defined the album. She maintained that finger-popping momentum with "Some of That True Love" and "The Rain Might Wash Your Love Away." Lynne turned seductress on "Tell Me I'm Crazy" and honky-tonker on "I Need a Heart to Come Home To," the album's most overtly country number. Now that Lynne's gained wider exposure, it's worth remembering that pushing the envelope is nothing new for her. --Rich Kienzle
