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.

Slow Me Down Lyrics

Shelby Lynne

Put me on a boat on the mighty mississippi
Let old man river slow me down
Been too long gone from my sweet dixie
Chasin a dream from town to town
So I called my baby in mobile, alabama
Said meet me in memphis on the jackson queen
Tell you right now we aint in no big hurry
To make our way down to new orleans
Chorus
Slow me down
Somethin bout the rhythm and the rollin of the river
Slow me down
Rocks me like a baby in a rockin chair
Slow me down
Sometin bout the smell of a sweet magnolia
Slow me down
Makes me forget all my troubles and cares
Just a few more miles and Ill be there
Well I need a little time for some relaxation
A little bit of lovin from my sugar pie
Only heaven knows how my hearts been achin
For a big yellow moon in a southern sky
(repeat chorus and 3rd verse)
