LYNN CAREY SAYLOR'S greatest passion in life is that of a songwriter. 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.
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, Butch Walker and many other well-known artists.

Lynn also enjoys her role as promoter of other talented female singer/songwriter/guitarists through her site, GuitarGirls.com, which she founded in March of 2000. The popular site, which is a fixture on page #1 of a Google search for "female guitarists", has gained not only the attention of Independent "do it yourself" artists on the Internet, but has also earned the respect of such internationally known artists such as CHRISSIE HYNDE of THE PRETENDERS and LISA LOEB, as well as hit songwriter SIEDAH GARRETT (MICHAEL JACKSON'S "Man In The Mirror") who have all given exclusive interviews to the site. LAURA JOPLIN (sister of music legend JANIS) has also given an exclusive interview to the Website.
Lynn writes not only for herself, but also writes and develops material for several up and coming artists in the genres of Rock, Pop and Country. She is also a self-publisher and BMI affiliate with her GUITAR GIRLS DOTCOM PUBLISHING COMPANY.
