Shape of a Tear is a 2003 album released by the Lynn Morris Band on Rounder Records (11661 0509 2). Lynn Morris (guitar, lead vocals) fronts a tight quartet featuring Jesse Brock (mandolin), Ron Stewart (banjo, fiddle, mandolin), and Marshall Wilborn (bass). Morris—one of bluegrass's most celebrated lead vocalists of her generation—brings a precise, emotionally direct delivery to a program that balances original material with carefully chosen covers. Ron Stewart's multi-instrumental contributions add textural depth, and Brock's mandolin work reflects his growing stature as one of the genre's more imaginative players. Shape of a Tear stands among the Lynn Morris Band's most fully realized recordings and demonstrates the band's continued creative vitality into the 2000s.
