Best Records Of 2005-Suit Yourself

Suit Yourself-Shelby Lynne
This record shows a more introspective and soulful Shelby Lynne; here she's more loose and relaxed than on previous outings. She opens the album with "Go With It," a track that begins with a brief rehearsal of the song's bridge, then rips into some rocking R&B. Other songs range from the funny falling-in-love ditty “You and We” to the heartfelt Cash tribute “Johnny Met June”. The emotional heartbreak at the heart of "I Won't Die Alone" is one of the finest songs she has ever written, just full of resilience.
