'Consequences of the Crown,' new album by Shelby Lynne, available now

Grammy winning music artist and desert dweller Shelby Lynne released her new album, Consequences of the Crown, today via Monument Records. Listen HERE.

Reflecting on the project, Lynne says, “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.”

The album was co-produced by Lynne, Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild, Ashley Monroe, and Gena Johnson. It is Lynne’s first new album since returning to Nashville after 25 years away. In addition to Lynne, Fairchild and Monroe, the record also features contributions from Waylon Payne, Jedd Hughes, Angaleena Presley (Pistol Annies) and others. 

Fairchild and Monroe also co-wrote the single “Gone To Bed” (Listen/share HERE). About the song, Lynne comments, “This one is my truth, as bare as my soul can be.”

Lynne has spent the last couple of months setting the stage for the record by releasing tracks "Gone To Bed," “Butterfly,” “Over and Over,” and “But I Ain’t”. The latter tune serves as a bridge between her past and present work, as it interpolates “Dreamsome,” a standout track from I Am Shelby Lynne, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary. In honor of the I Am Shelby Lynne anniversary, a special reissue of the album was released earlier this spring via Monument Records – Stream/purchase HERE.

She will perform at The Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday, August 20, supporting Little Big Town. A month later, the Americana Music Association will recognize her among its 2024 “Lifetime Achievement Honorees” during its 23rd annual Americana Honors & Awards show on Wednesday, September 18 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Finally, Lynne touches down in the UK on October 24 to perform at the world-famous O2 Arena with Chris Stapleton.

Adding to an already notable year, Lynne will perform a special headline show at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on Thursday, September 26, where she will perform new music and I Am Shelby Lynne in its entirety. Tickets for the show, which will feature special guests Waylon Payne and Meg McRee, are on-sale now HERE.

In addition to releasing sixteen studio albums, Lynne has also been named Top New Female Vocalist at the 26th Annual ACM Awards, been featured in numerous movies and TV shows (including 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.
