Now I understand how she could put out such an outstanding emotional performance of Lennon's song after recently learning about what happened with her parents...God bless you Ms Lynne and God bless you John...
Wow! Powerful cover especially when reading her back story, Shelby really done this song justice R.I.P John your music & message will last forever Cheers from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Shelby Lynne's father shot her mother in the driveway of the family home before turning the gun on himself - in the presence of 17-year-old Shelby and her younger sister in 1985 (Wikipedia.) Beyond heartbreaking. Easy to see how she identifies with the song.
I had to check out this video after watching the TV show "Army Wives" where Shelby Lynn appeared in an episode, playing a down-and-out singer who had walked away from a promising career (due to alcoholism, I think), Her character sang at the Hump Bar on the show but preferred to go back on the road to taking a regular gig singing there. I didn't know her music but was sure that she was a pro, so I looked her up and listened to some of her music. I like this performance of John Lennon's song "Mother" sung with such deep emotion. I grew up a Beatles fan from the first time they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, and then enjoyed their individual careers. It's wonderful to see their creativity interpreted by different artists.
Listen again knowing that Shelby’s mother was shot and killed by her father at their home when she and her sister were kids and in the house. Different spin from Lennon maybe but different singers can bring different things to a great song.
Sorry, not into it. I appreciate if this song speaks to you, but she doesn't get it. This song isn't about healing, it IS healing. She doesn't go near as far as Lennon did. I recommend you all listen to the original, by John Lennon if you like this version.
I know John's version.. wonderful. To say Shelby doesn't get it is ridiculous. Her own story of her father killing her mother then shooting himself in front of her and her sister is testimony in itself.

Discovered this during the COVID lockdowns. The best version of John Lennon's Mother, respect Ms Lynne.
Wow, Shelby! That's way down deep from the soul performing and singing. It gives me goose bumbs.
Wow! Powerful cover especially when reading her back story, Shelby really done this song justice R.I.P John your music & message will last forever Cheers from the UK 🇬🇧🇺🇸
One of the most intensely powerful performances I have ever heard/seen.

Best version of this song. I’ve ever heard. The guitar parts are tweed heaven
So happy to see this clip again after many years. Beautiful and so soulful!
Wow, Shelby! respect Ms Lynne.
Beautiful cover of John Lennon wow magic... The Best...
She nailed Lennon. She nails Dylan too. Shelby is an awesome talent. Criminally underrated.

Made me cry everytime I read all over her tragic experience
I bought Mind Games when it came out. Loved this song… she feels every word deeply. As do I.. my mother abandoned us two years later..
Got to give her credit for covering this song considering Lennon does such an incredible job with it.
