This is Shelby Lynne- The Best of the Epic Years.......2006-08-18

I would rate this CD very high. Her cover on "Little Bits and Pieces" is absolutely tops. I have this song by Wayne Newton also and Shelby can sing circles around him on this song. On "If I Could Bottle This Up" her duet with the Great George Jones is simply superb.The other duet she does with Les Taylor "The Very First Lasting Love" is great too. But I can't leave out one of my favorites on the CD and that's "Don't Get Around Much Any More". I simply do not understand anyone who did not like this whole CD. I love her voice and think that the music industry is loco for not recognizing what a great talent she is.

Not a big country fan.......2004-10-23

Seeing Shelby on a TV spot convinced me that I must have some of her music. This album may have her classic background, but is nothing like her current sound which I think is great! This can be skipped by anyone who doesn't really like country sounds. Maybe this is the reason her new album is titled "Identity Crisis" - nothing like her old stuff. Sorry, buy the new but pass on this expensive oldie. (PS, I also like her new hair style better :-)

a must have!.......2003-10-10

culled from the "epic years" this is an absolute gem of material and vocal technique. if you have any of her earlier recording(s) (i had "tough all over") and enjoyed them/it, you will be enthralled by this release. a five star collection!

Don't shun this Shelby retrospective!!!.......2001-04-29

Last year's 'I Am Shelby Lynne' got lots of attention as she twisted and turned once more to establish a winning commercial identity that she, too, was happy with. But maybe she was too chameleon-like on that album. This compilation from her time with Epic in the late 80s/early 90s illustrates what she was unhappy with in Nashville: the accompaniment and arrangements rarely move beyond cliched expectation. BUT the blandness of those serve as a foil for her amazingly expressive voice. The material is excellent, too, which suggests she must have had a big hand in the choice of repertoire. But I come back to the quality of voice - Shelby's most natural voice, I suspect. For me, she's not singing at her best on 'I Am Shelby Lynne' but, ironically, she is here.
