“Say what you will about the Barbara Streisand version of A Star is Born (just be careful who you say it to!), in the musical segments it soars. That’s because Streisand and director (ostensibly) Frank Pierson opted to record all the music live on film rather than the usual movie musical practice of lip synching to prerecorded tracks, which gave this Star a sense of reality (well…) and immediacy. 
 
And Lynn Loosier goes after the same effect on What I Like (she says, in her liner notes, that she had “always dreamed of recording a project live)”“You can take the girl out of Georgia …, but you can’t take Georgia out of the girl. Every ditty she does in a voice that can go from wail to whisper has a GA connection. A successful Manhattan bow after time clearly spent honing her impressive skills elsewhere.

“Lynn Loosier, making her New York debut, entered the narrow south side of The Firebird Cafe room signing “Georgia on My Mind.” It may be safe to say that no one who’s ever performed the soulful anthem has ever had Georgia so much on her mind…”

“Lynn Loosier not only sings from her soul…her soul sings. You can hear the depth of her journey, both her joys and her sorrows in the melody, voice and delivery of her music. Lynn’s style is a wonderful blend of genres; country, soul, gospel and pop. Something for everyone. What a blessed experience!”

“Lynn Loosier has been a client and colleague of mine for several years now. More importantly, Lynn is one of the singers I enjoy listening to when I’m NOT working. Her ability to deliver the picture of what she’s singing about straight to the heart of the listener is a gift most singers simply don’t possess. And that, in my opinion, is the difference between singing and painting with one’s voice.

You are simply one of my favorite artists and singers … and that puts you in the same company as Joni Mitchell, so take that as high praise!”

“I first met Lynn Loosier over twenty years ago when she was a newly-transplanted New Yorker who had recently arrived from Georgia. At first I thought her southern charm and relaxed personality made for an odd fit with Manhattan, but once I heard her sing I realized that her decision to come and try her luck in the biggest music scene in the country was more than backed up by her immense talent and soul. Since then, I’ve enjoyed a fulfilling musical relationship with Lynn that has spanned many years, several album projects and countless live concerts. It’s always a thrill to hear her sing and I still get a kick when I see someone who’s hearing this huge voice come out of this small southern woman for the first time.”

“Lynn Loosier is the real freakin’ deal!  Full of sass, class & style, there’s an authenticity about her voice that emanates from deep within her soul, from the inside out. In my opinion, its the journey all music should take.”
