Shelby Lynne: Next Steps

Before redefining herself with an eclectic blend of styles around the turn of the millennium, Shelby Lynne was a straight-up country singer. She stood out from the '90s pop-country pack with her defiantly rootsy sound on twang-filled tunes like "Slow Me Down". She even sang alongside George Jones himself, adding her honeyed tones to his "If I Could Bottle This Up" in a loose-limbed honky-tonking duet.
