Without the presence of a label, manager or agent,
Lynn Carey Saylor has scored 3 major guitarist endorsement deals in the
last several months due to her powerful combination of model-like
camera friendly looks mixed with her high level playing, singing and
songwriting abilities.
All words and music on 10 of 11 songs
on her 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.
Lynn has an especially personal and emotional
reason for having covered the song on her otherwise completely
self-written album and that is to honor and feature "We Belong"
co-writer Eric Lowen, who has been stricken with the incurable fatal
disease ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). It is Lynn's hope that she can
bring awareness to his terrible illness through her recording of this
classic song and by including Lowen on not only the recording, but also
a video where he is featured singing with Lynn, which can be viewed at

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), frontman and guitarist respectively for
popular rock band "American Hi-Fi" (best known for their 2002 hit
single "Flavor Of The Weak"), CHRIS JOHNSON, programmer of the smash
hit single for Evanescence, "Bring Me To Life", FRANK GRYNER,
producer/programmer to many well-known artists such as Tommy Lee and
Rob Zombie, DANNY MIRANDA, formerly the long time touring bassist of
Blue Oyster Cult and recent tour bassist for Queen + Paul Rodgers,
SASHA KRIVTSOV, former touring bassist for such artists as Vanessa
Carlton and Billy Idol and a member of the house band of the CBS
reality series "Rockstar Supernova", and drummer MARK SCHULMAN, who has
toured or recorded with the likes of Cher, Foreigner, Pink, Stevie
Nicks, Sheryl Crow and many other superstar artists.
The record
was produced by SKIP SAYLOR and mixed by PAUL DAVID HAGER, who has
mixed tracks for Pink, Avril Lavigne, The Donnas and many other
well-known artists.
Lynn Carey Saylor is endorsed by world
famous string manufacturer The Dean Markley Company, is the primary
endorsement artist of SPG Guitars who has featured Lynn in multiple
magazine advertisements in 2007 and she is also 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.
