Artist History
Lynette Louise got married four times, named them all John, and poured her heart out in the creation of this CD. It’s an example of who she was before she was who she is.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Lynette left school at 15, married and had two children before turning 20. By the time she was 29, Lynette had adopted four toddlers, all boys with varying degrees of autism. “Having been a foster parent,” says Lynette, “I couldn’t stand that the kids would be bounced from home to home. I had to keep them!” Along the way, she added two troubled teenage girls to the mix, one with learning disabilities, completing the family with eight children in all. The story of how these children not only survived but flourished is a testament to Lynette’s persistence, unconventional approaches, and steadfast love.

“Sing me a Song...please!” is truly an original album from singer/songwriter Lynette Louise that draws from both mainstream jazz and honky tonk country. Lynette's loungy vocal performance pairs nicely with either genre, and she takes full advantage of this with incredibly diverse and solid arrangements. Lynette is a renowned international autism expert, having taken a number of children with autism and other special needs under her wing and caring for them like family. This selfless life experience certainly glimmers forth in her songs. She is a great lyrical storyteller, as she sings about the importance of love, both toward God and children, and, as a listener, you hang onto every word. “Sing me a Song...please!” is well-recorded, and Lynette's lyrics pierce through the arrangements perfectly. “Sing Me a Song” is a jazzy and lyrical number with great yearning vocal delivery and a nice build-up. “Used to Listen” gives the listener a first taste of Lynette's honky tonk side with the incorporation of the violin, a pleasant group vocal, and great lyrics about prayer, love, and family. Though it seems an unconventional combination, Lynette Louise has put together ten inspiring tracks that draw from both jazz and honky tonk, highlighting her strong lyrical talent. Fans of either of these genres, check out this strong album from a good person. -Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review TeamCheck out Lynette Louise's music on RadioIndy.com with link to purchase and links to popular sites |
