Editorial Reviews

2011 album from the singer/songwriter. Revelation Road is Shelby's most personal record yet. She wrote, recorded and produced the album, which leads off with the title track and first single, a stirring reflection on reckoning and redemption. From Country to Pop and back again, this is Shelby at her finest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sparkles with Originality November 21, 2011

Shelby Lynne's "Revelation Road" sparkles with originality. As always, Shelby is an expressive singer who embodies her songs and oozes feeling. As a songwriter, each track is strong. Softer songs like "The Thief" also shine, "If I thought a million bucks could make you want to just stand up and walk into my love like before, I'd rob a rich man's diamond mine to make you be my Valentine; Say the word & I'll become a thief." "Woebegone" churns slowly somewhere between country, folk, & rock with a touch of blues, "Should have seen it coming; A crystal ball says it all; When I wake up and see me crying, woe be gone." The midtempo rocker, "Heaven's Only Days Down the Road," is a stunning gem that deals with death as a release from pain, "I've been insane since I was nine, never went to crying, was the fighting kind, load up the gun full of regret; I ain't even pulled the trigger yet." The title track has one of Shelby's best melodies that seems to flow effortlessly with her sparkling vocals crowning the track. This is a wonderful set with charms that keep enhancing with repeated listening. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Just Keeps Getting Better! October 26, 2011

By HagFan

Format:Audio CD

I've been a fan of this young lady since the beginning in 1989, and have wandered why there are still so many people who don't know who she is. Well, I'll tell you who she is. She is, hands down, the best female singer/songwriter that the Good Lord has given us in this generation. I knew she had something when she brought her first album, "Sunrise" out. Her career has gone in many different directions since then, but I think she has finally found her niche. I say this without hesitation in praising everything that she has done in the past.

Shelby's last album prior to her Christmas album, "Tears, Lies, and Alibis" was the best album by a female singer in 2010. If you haven't purchased it yet do yourself a favor and sit down and enjoy. It's a little more upbeat than "Revelation Road", but stands up against any other album released last year by the so-called singers you hear on the radio. A great, great album. There is not a bad cut on it. With "Revelation Road", Shelby has put together a whole album that is so personal that it reminds me of the way the great Merle Haggard writes. When you listen to him, you're hearing his life story. And, when you listen to "Revelation Road", if you know anything about Shelby, she is telling her life story. She's not afraid to face the ups and downs that she has gone through personally. As a lifelong fan, I have to say that Shelby's voice has gotten crisper and cleaner with the years. She has so much range with her voice that it's nearly hard to believe. And, one last bit of praise. Shelby wrote all of the songs, played all the instruments, and produced the album in her own studio.

If you weren't a fan before "Revelation Road", and you give it chance, you will be a fan. I guarantee it. If you've been a fan, I'm sure after listening to this album Shelby didn't disappoint you. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY AMAZING ALBUM January 1, 2013

SHELBY LYNNE HAS ALWAYS BEEN OVERLOOKED AND UNDER RATED AS SHE DOES THE MUSIC SHE WANTS TO DO AND DOES IT HER WAY. THIS AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL ALBUM IS BRILLIANT WITHOUT A BAD TRACK ON IT. IT IS ALL SHELBY - SHE WROTE IT, PLAYS EVERY INSTRUMENT AND PRODUCED IT. I HAD THE PURE JOY OF SEEING HER PERFORM THR ALBUM IN PERSON AND IT IS A NIGHT I WILL NEVER FORGET. BUT IT, PLAY IT AND BECOME A FAN, TOO!
