Just when you think you have Shelby Lynne pegged, there’s a twist, and you realize you aren’t as informed as you think.

When she flashed across the world in 2001 after winning the Best New Artist Grammy, many thought the petite singer-songwriter with the big, bold vocal chops would become a major force. But no matter how hard the studios tried to push and pull her into the mold, Lynne was intent on making music her way. Not that the bust of her 2001 album, “Love, Shelby,” wasn’t a disappointment, but she’s philosophical about that and the critically acclaimed, but modest, commercial success that followed.
