Singer/songwriter Shelley Laine loves to meet a challenge and nowhere is her strong-willed, independent spirit more evident than in the picking up, moving on and doing better' refrain of That Girl Doesn't Live Here Anymore, the first single off her CD, Back to Austin. In fact, the message at the core of the entire project is one of individualism and personal strength, not surprisingly, reflections of Shelley's personal philosophy.  Her timely Born Again American, track tells the story of a woman who discovers the American Dream and pulls herself up from poverty.  Laine's belief in setting goals and, more importantly, achieving them has led her to a series of outright successes: being named a qualifier in the trials for the Olympic women's soccer team, scaling the nation’s most formidable mountains, running her own consulting and other businesses, and developing employee-training programs for corporations around the nation. Just listen to her single, No Time Like Now, the title track of her third CD – you just might be moved to take action in your own life! That single made Laine the #1 ranked independent artist on the country music charts and earned her a nomination from DJs as the Female Artist of the year in 2002.
