Shelby Lynne
Back to the Paradise this past weekend to see Shelby Lynne (July 17). It was a very good show, though, for someone who in interviews says she lives for performing, I thought she was a little uneasy on stage. Her band, the geekiest-lookest threesome ever to come out of Mississippi I'm sure, was really good. The hard rock dobro stylings were a revelation for any fan of that instrument. The highlight of the night for me was a cover of the Stones' "Dead Flowers". I also really like her new tune "Where Am I Now?," off the new album, Suit Yourself.
The crowd mystified me a little. Librarian-ish women and forty- and fifty-something single men. The presence of the latter was explained when a few minutes on Google revealed the Shelby has developed a large gay following.
