All words and music on 10 of 11 songs on this endorsed artist's modern Rock/Pop CD "YOU LIKE IT CLEAN" are written entirely by her and she tackles such weighty subjects as racial tolerance (on her award winning song "IF WE BELIEVE" featuring BRIAN MAY of QUEEN) and drunk driving (on the emotional heavy rock ballad "I WASN'T A FRIEND"), but never seems to be preaching to you. Her songwriting style is one of thoughtful lyrics, expressive melodies, big dramatic chorus hooks, lush background harmonies and full bodied instrumentation, set off by modern production.
Queen's Brian May also appears on the lone cover tune on "You Like It Clean", the 1984 smash hit for Pat Benatar, "WE BELONG." Lynn's version of the song boasts not only Brian May, but also the songwriters of the song, Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro. For those who know Pat Benatar's big ballad interpretation of the song, there will be some surprise as to Lynn's much more rocked up arrangement of the song, a departure that was designed to set it apart from Pat's version and also to reflect Lynn's style and showcase the rock guitar sound and style of guitar legend Brian May, who plays both lead and rhythm guitar on the song.
In addition to Brian May and the writers of "We Belong", there are other musicians of note appearing on Lynn's record. They include STACY JONES (drums) and JAMIE ARENTZEN (guitar), currently playing sold out stadiums with Miley Cyrus and also known for their popular rock band "American Hi-Fi" (and 2002 hit single "Flavor Of The Weak"), CHRIS JOHNSON, programmer of the smash hit single for Evanescence, "Bring Me To Life" and drummer MARK SCHULMAN, who has toured or recorded with the likes of Cher, Foreigner, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow and most recently, rock artist Pink.
Lynn Carey Saylor is endorsed by world famous string manufacturer The Dean Markley Company, was the primary endorsement artist of SPG Guitars until the company's sale in 2008 and is currently the first FEMALE endorsed by Goodsell Amps, who endorses such well-known guitarists as Gilby Clarke (of former Guns n' Roses and Rockstar Supernova fame), Butch Walker (Epic artist and noted producer/songwriter for artists such as Pink, Avril Lavigne, American Hi-Fi and others) and Country superstar, Vince Gill. Advertisements featuring Lynn's image and name have appeared in such guitar related publications as Guitar World and Premier Guitar.
Lynn writes songs both for herself and for other artists in a wide variety of genres, but most often in the genres of Rock, Pop and Country. She has received many accolades and "Honorable Mention" nods for her songwriting, including recently having had the honor of her song "102 (Songs About You)" being named one of 14 finalist songs in the Country genre of the 2008 International Songwriting Competition among 15,500 total entries to the prestigious year-long competition.
Her music has also been heard on television, most recently in the opening show of VH1's popular "Celebrity Rehab 2" reality program, and Lynn's music was also hand selected for non-exclusive licensing representation by Suzanne Hilleary, founder of the WACBIZ company. Suzanne is noted as having placed 2000 Grammy winning Song of the Year "Smooth" with Carlos Santana and WACBIZ represents and licenses the catalogues of over 200 professional acts -- from Duncan Sheik to Danny Aiello, and those who have recorded and toured with the likes of Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Suzanne Vega, Tom Petty and many more. |
