Shelby Lynne

Shelby Lynne born Shelby Lynn Moorer, on October 22, 1968 in Quantico, Virginia is an American singer, songwriter and actress. Lynne grew up in Frankville, Alabama, raised by a musically oriented family she sometimes would join her parents and younger sister Allison Moorer on-stage to sing along.
She appeared on TNN's Nashville Now in 1987, and soon landed a recording contract with Epic Records, Lynne's first recording for Epic was a duet with George Jones, "If I Could Bottle This Up", which became a top-50 hit in 1988. Epic teamed Lynne with producer Billy Sherrill for her 1989 debut album Sunrise. The follow-up, 1990's Tough All Over, took more of a mainstream country direction, and 1991's Soft Talk found Lynne moving into slick country-pop.
In the early 1990’s she split from Epic and signed with the smaller Morgan Creek label, debuting with 1993's Temptation, an exercise in Bob Wills-style Western swing and big band jazz. Lynne moved to Palm Springs in 1998 and released the confessional and eclectic Rhythm and Blues album I Am Shelby Lynne in 1999 (released in US in 2000) to wide critical acclaim; on the strength of the album Lynne won a Grammy Award® for "Best New Artist", despite the fact that she had been recording and releasing records for more than ten years. Her 2001 follow up album, Love, Shelby featured a slicker, more pop-influenced sound. In 2003, Lynne released the critically-acclaimed Identity Crisis produced, engineered, and mixed by Bruce Robb then in 2005 she released Suit Yourself.
Lynne's most recent album - Just a Little Lovin', released on January 29, 2008 — is a tribute to singer Dusty Springfield.
