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.

Where I'm From Lyrics

Shelby Lynne

(written by Shelby Lynee and Bill Botrell)
Heaven knows this ain't no Margaret Mitchell
where the oak trees meet the pines
I know it might sound kinda simple
oh but it's mine oh it's mine
Thought I heard a logman cuttin' timber
down the Mississippi line
I'm up the old Tombigbee river
high as the pines, all the time
Elegamment les batos passant
ben on la flota vec du van
all I'm trying to say is I'm
never far away from
Alabama frame of mind
Jubilation risin' on the bayou
celebration in the wind
Father Pat gives benediction
cross the Coden bridge again
Crickets spreadin' rumors by the shoreline
with the lonesome lady whine
crab trap full of nothin
I'm high as the tide, all the time
