Shelby Lynne, for what it's worth, played Johnny Cash's mother in the 
movie "Walk the Line."

   Here is another view (probably non-harp player/musician view) of 
that track:Â

Let Shelby be Shelby, April 11, 2000Â

Reviewer: Suzanne (Langhorne, PA) - See all my reviewsÂ

 I have never been a fan of country music, thus I had never heard of 
Shelby Lynne. If it weren't for public radio I would never had been 
introduced to this talented, singer-songwriter. I bought the CD 
expecting to hear something different and I was far from disappointed. 
Many of her older fans feel betrayed by her alteration, they should be 
happy she decided to break free of the factory sounding country that 
Faith, Trisha, and Shania can give them in spades. This is not the best 
CD I own, I do wish she had a backing band, instead she and her 
producer did all of the instruments and vocals.Â

Â

 Â Bill Bottrell also tried too many production tricks, at times the 
vocals were drowned out and the harmonica solo on track 5 could have 
been left out.Â

Â

 But the lyrics are wonderfully emotive and she really shows a talent 
for songwritingÂ

 Â Some of the stronger tracks are "Gotta Get Back" sans harmonica 
solo,Â

Â

 "Life Is Bad," and "Where I'm From." I found, as did other reviewers, 
that the more I listened to "I Am, " the more I HAD to listen to it. 
Shelby is playing in my town tonight and I hope to catch this unique 
artist and see what she can do with a genuine backing band.Â
