Shelby Lynne on Returning to Nashville, Working With Karen Fairchild and Ashley Monroe and New Album ‘Consequences of the Crown’: ‘It Was So Real’
Shelby Lynne speaks to Billboard about working with Karen Fairchild, Ashley Monroe and others on her new album 'Consequences of the Crown.'
From there, her community of collaborators kept expanding, with Monroe bringing her Pistol Annies cohorts Angaleena Presley and Miranda Lambert — and soon, Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild was brought into the fold. The album opens with “Truth We Know,” which Lynne calls “a sketch of words that I had written down right in the middle of my heart breaking.” Songs including “Shattered,” “Consequences” and “Over and Over” offer up the nuanced process of navigating a breakup and the work of healing and moving on. Consequences also serves as a potent reminder of Lynne’s own trailblazing, genre-blending ways, as she melded different styles long before it was the “in” thing to do — though she’s quick to recognize that fearless spirit in others, such as Beyoncé.
