Shelby Lynne signs up for Army Wives
Thursday, July 23, 2009 – Shelby Lynne will perform two new songs as the character of Stella Raye on the Aug. 9 episode of the Lifetime Network series, Army Wives. The new songs, Beat The Blues and Like A Fool, were written and performed by Lynne.
The songs were recorded during sessions for her upcoming album due in 2010 on Lost Highway. Lynne's previous album for the label, "Just A Little Lovin'," was an homage to the late Dusty Springfield and was released in January 2008.
Army Wives follows the struggles, dreams and friendships of a diverse group of women - and one man - living with their spouses and families on an active army post.
