From Suit Yourself, the ninth studio album by Shelby Lynne, released on May 24, 2005....Though the album does not explicitly state the title of its final track, "Track 12" is a cover of "Rainy Night in Georgia" written by Tony Joe White.
What a lovely version! I loooove your sound Shelby!! You should come to The Netherlands and play for us in Amsterdam in Paradiso. Patty de Gooijer xxx
Tony Joe wrote it and sings it damn well. Brook Benton made it his signature song, and did the original honor. Shelby takes it to new emotional depths. The woman absolutely finds the emotional essence of every song she performs, whether they be hers or others' songs. In my opinion, Shelby is the gold standard as a singer/songwriter.
