Shelby Lynne has signed with Rounder Records and has recorded an album she'll release early next year.

Before that, though, Rounder will release a deluxe edition of the Grammy-winning singer's 2000 breakthrough I Am Shelby Lynne.

The reissue package, out Oct. 7, will contain six previously unreleased tracks from the recording sessions for the album, as well as a 90-minute promotional concert film shot at the Los Angeles House of Blues on April 28, 2000.

USA TODAY is premiering the opening number from that show, Should Have Been Better, a song that also appears as one of the reissue's bonus tracks.

After recording five albums for the country market that saw critical acclaim but only marginal success, Lynne teamed with producer Bill Bottrell for I Am Shelby Lynne. The album revived her career and helped her earn a Grammy for best new artist in 2001.

"This album is all about pain," Lynne told USA TODAY's Edna Gundersen in 2001. "Life is not fun most of the time. A lot of happy things happened in my life, but they don't necessarily make for good songs. I go with what touches a nerve."

Shelby Lynne: Live at the House of Blues features Lynne at the peak of her abilities, performing smoldering versions of the album's songs, along with tracks that didn't make the album and covers of John Lennon's Mother and Jimmy Webb's Wichita Lineman.

"I've been waiting 12 years for this damn show," she says at one point during the concert. Fans have had to wait 14 to see the film, but they'll likely find it has been worth the wait.
