Shelby Lynne cut the loose and personal Identity Crisis when she came to Capitol in 2003. And now, she's taken her desire for intimacy and capture-the-moment spontaneity even further with her latest work, the aptly titled Suit Yourself. "I've learned a lot in six years," Lynne says in her Alabama drawl, "and the main thing I've learned is to not second-guess my own self. I feel like I know what I want to do, and I'm just doin' it." Lynne makes her intentions clear from the getgo. The first sounds you hear on Suit Yourself are the chatter between the artist and her cohorts as they get ready to lay down a take.

Shelby Lynne

(written by Shelby Lynne and Bill Botrell)
Smokin' and thinkin'
of things to do since you're gone
sittin', lonely
can't even get stoned
takin' a breath of a feeling that
once lived in this house
Laughin' and dying
at the mirror in the hall
talkin' to myself
a memory don't remember at all
last thing you told me was the first thing that brought on these clouds
I'm lookin' up, for the next thing that brings me down
here comes the jet plane
I can see the wheels hit the ground
however long I wait
I'm standin' at the gate, looking round
Walkin' and cryin'
stumble into a church
startin' at the rafters
wonderin' how much more I can hurt
hey old man, what are your plans for me
where am I bound
I'm lookin' up for the next thing that brings me down
I'm lookin' up for the next thing that brings me down
