Shelby Lynne — I Can’t Imagine •±• Ačkoli její hudba je citelně expresivní a osobní, Shelby Lynne má tendenci udržet své texty nepřímé co to dá a tím chránit svůj soukromý život. Ale ona často čerpá z metafor ze svého dospívání na Jihu a písně jako jsou tyto jsou velmi evokující. Její ekonomika jazyka je pozoruhodná. Jen několika slovy, Lynne vyjadřuje matoucí pocit přechodové fáze, jsou spjata s místem, odkud jste přišli, k místu, ke kterému jste povinni jít dál... Ano, kousek po kousku buduje svůj nárok na identitu. Je to jemná, citlivá věc. Album je tedy orientačním bodem. Shelby se dívá na věci z nové, svěží perspektivy.
•±• Decades after the family tragedy that has haunted Shelby Lynne, and her music, since she was a teenager, the country–soul singer–songwriter mines the happier moments of her childhood on ‘I Can’t Imagine’.

Editorial Reviews
•±• I Can’t Imagine, Shelby Lynne’s 13th full–length album and first for Rounder Records, is the most beautifully crafted and intensely affecting set of songs since her landmark I Am Shelby Lynne in 2000. It starts, as always, with that voice. Two parts Alabama sunshine; one part Memphis rainstorm, it’s one of the most gorgeous sounding instruments in all of popular music. Comprising 10 new songs written or co–written by the GRAMMY winning singer–songwriter, I Can’t Imagine is powered by Lynne’s lustrous, virtuosic vocal performance, indelible, sparkling songwriting, and the sympathetic, versatile playing of a top–flight band, led by guitarist Ben Peeler. The songs themselves reflect a panoply of Lynne’s influences from Southern soul, Crescent City R&B, and California country & western to the ardent social consciousness of precursors like Woody Guthrie and even the roots ‘n blues vocalizing of Billie Holiday all brought into clear focus by Lynne’s keen, sophisticated pop sensibility. An artist in full creative command, Shelby Lynne’s I Can’t Imagine is an inspired work of purity and depth — sure to be one of 2015's most essential recordings. Also:
