THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Produced by Shelby Lynne, Karen Fairchild, Ashley Monroe and Gena Johnson, Consequences Of The Crown is the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter and musician’s first new album since returning to Nashville after 25 years away, and is her most raw and authentic work to date. Across these 12 genre-blending tracks, Lynne explores the complexities of humanity, as she chronicles her experiences with heartbreak and loss as well as the powerful transformation and growth that comes with both.
Reflecting on the project, Lynne shares, “I am going where it feels right to take a step. Breathing. Feeling the power of this music I lived for a time, another chapter in my life. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful to you for listening to my life. This is the moment. We all wear a crown of consequences.” In addition to Lynne, Fairchild and Monroe, the record also features contributions from respected artists such as Waylon Payne, Jedd Hughes, Angaleena Presley, Carter Faith, Meg McRee and Ben Chapman.
The song But I Ain’t serves as a bridge between her past and present work, as it interpolates Dreamsome, a standout track from her landmark album I Am Shelby Lynne, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary. In honor of the anniversary, a special reissue of the album was released last month.
Since her 1989 debut, Lynne has established herself as one of her generation’s most passionate and determined voices. In addition to releasing 16 studio albums, Lynne was named Top New Female Vocalist at the 26th ACM Awards, been featured in numerous movies and TV shows (including the Oscar and Golden Globe-winning film Walk The Line) and performed alongside artists such as Willie Nelson, Sheryl Crow, Kris Kristofferson, Lyle Lovett, her sister Allison Moorer and many more.”
