Like a lot of winners of the Grammy’s Best New Artist category, country singer Shelby Lynne wasn’t exactly a newcomer when she took home that award in 2001. Before she found acclaim with her breakthrough 1999 album, I Am Shelby Lynne, she had already released five albums and spent well over a decade navigating a music industry that had continually tried to repackage her sound for the widest audience possible. On her recent records, she’s veered away from the glossy pop of I Am Shelby Lynne and toward a rootsier, more rustic Americana sound. Her latest release, Not Dark Yet, is a duets record with her sister Allison Moorer that includes covers of Jason Isbell, Townes Van Zandt, Merle Haggard, The Killers and Nirvana.
