Lynne offers new song
Friday, April 19, 2024 – "But I Ain't" is the new song from Shelby Lynne, out today on Monument Records.
The song was produced by Lynne, Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, Ashley Monroe and Gena Johnson and interpolates "Dreamsome," a track from her "I Am Shelby Lynne" disc, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Lynne said the song was "a taste of old. A big shot of new. For you. For us."
In honor of the "I Am Shelby Lynne" anniversary, a special reissue of the album was released earlier this month via Monument Records. The official music videos for album tracks "Gotta Get Back" and "Your Lies" are also now available online for the first time, after debuting on television 25 years ago.

Don't worry though, this is not a collection of songs about social distancing and searching for Charmin. ...
Shelby Lynne really needs to figure out who she is if she ever wants to be something more than the answer to the trivia question "What artist won a Grammy for best new artist after releasing 6 albums over 12 years?" Is she a country singer? Blues? Is she Dusty Springfield reincarnated? Why can't she find a style and stick with it?"
That's what they say anyway, but maybe they're wrong. Maybe Shelby figured out a long time ago who she was and how she wanted to sing. ...
The ironies surrounding Shelby Lynne's sixth album, 1999's "I Am Shelby
Lynne," were as thick as mutant kudzu at the time. After a quintet of
