More quotes by Shelby Lynne
I've pretty much run the circle of labels and dealing with that whole kind of battle, because you're the one creating the music, but you're not the final say. That's always been hard.
Shelby Lynne
I still believe in the old-school show thing no frills, no fancy equipment just a guitar and some amps and some drums, and throw it out there and do it the best you can in a live sense, because it's easy to make records. But the live show is where you really show if you've got the balls to do it.
Shelby Lynne
I can find some way to make poetry out of my life's experiences.
Shelby Lynne
Imagery is the most important to me when singing stories. I try to paint pictures with the words and decorate with little to no singing....let the song do the work.
Shelby Lynne
Music should be poor. Music should be with out air conditioning. That's just the way it is.
Shelby Lynne
That's what I so admired about Johnny Cash and June Carter. Their music wasn't a big influence on me. It was their character, their individual styles, what they were like as people. They weren't afraid to stick out.
Shelby Lynne
I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.
Shelby Lynne
What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.
Shelby Lynne
It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.
Shelby Lynne
I am a late starter. I like to go on into the night when it's quiet and everything has shut down. I find that's where music and minds open in the dark.
Shelby Lynne
I don't think I've ever put it in words before. But daddy took a gun and ended his life and took momma's with him.
Shelby Lynne
I feel like I've kind of gotten to a peaceful place in my heart.
Shelby Lynne
Ben [Peeler] and I have known each other for a decade. He trusts my crazy ideas and spontaneous combustion and he gets the players I want and knows the kind of personality players I like. He has taste that I trust and that to me is more important than any technical things.
Shelby Lynne
Now I can make a thousand dollars a night at a club.
Shelby Lynne
I feel like records are moments in time, a modern moment that feels right then and it found its way to us then, that minute. We can all try and repeat records we have made that had success, but it's not possible.
Shelby Lynne
I can't tell you how freeing it is to have my own label. For the first time in my career, I have total control.
Shelby Lynne
You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
Shelby Lynne
A great hang is mandatory. But in all of my years as a traveling musician, on a whole it's been pretty damn magical. There have been a couple duds along the way, but most time, I'm in awe of the guys who want to play on my records.
Shelby Lynne
The only way to get ahead in the music business these days is to call up all your friends. To pool your resources.
Shelby Lynne
The musings are the same I believe the fire to create burns so heavily that I am never far from a guitar or a fountain pen.
