Shelby Lynne Set to Release 'I Can't Imagine' on May 5th

Shelby Lynne will release her 13th full-length album, and first for Rounder Records, called I Can’t Imagine, on May 5, 2015.  Said to possibly be her most beautifully crafted and intensely affecting set of songs since her landmark I Am Shelby Lynne in 2000, I Can’t Imagine is powered by Lynne’s lustrous vocal performance, indelible, illuminative songwriting, and the sympathetic, versatile playing of her top-flight band. Listen to her new song, below.

The new album includes 10 new songs written or co-written by the GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter, I Can’t Imagine reflects an array of Lynne’s influences; from Southern soul, Crescent City R&B, and California country & western to the ardent social consciousness of precursors like Woody Guthrie and even the roots 'n' blues vocalizing of Billie Holiday, all brought into clear focus by Lynne’s keen pop sensibility.
