    Lynn adds something to your songs that you will always be happy to hear. It's not just the notes, but something more - authenticity, experience, vision. It's maybe a little like if you wrote a blues tune and got Howlin Wolf to sing background vocals. Give him a holler - he'll treat you like a friend and take real good care of your music!

    Lynn did a great job for me and was easy to work with.
    He understood my initial direction and came up with a great drum part for my song.
    He even sent me my drum tracks sooner than I had expected.
    I highly recommend him.

    As far as I'm concerned, Lynn's as good as it gets. I'm extremely happy with the work he did on my latest project. To be able to work with a drummer of his caliber is probably more than I deserve, but hell, we all deserve some dumb luck now and again. He's also a good guy and fast to boot. A real pro and highly recommended!

    Lynn is a real pro and I really enjoyed working with him. He knew exactly what the songs needed and provided it right off the bat. I guess that speaks to his talent and years of experience. He was very easy to work with - great communication, easygoing manner, and quick turnaround. I'm as happy as I can be with the work Lynn did and will definitely look him up again for future projects.

    I've played music w/ Lynn in The Wallflowers for years. This guy is one of the most talented musicians around. (try the Texas shuffle, it's wonderful)

    I have been working with Lynn Williams on many recording sessions as well as live. His musicianship, capability of coming up with the perfect part for a song and his in the pocket grooves are impeccable. He's the consummate professional and his personality and laid back attitude make him so easy to work with. It's no coincidence that he regularly gets to work with the Muscle Shoals session greats. Lynn is hands down my favorite drummer.
