Lynn Kitchens has performed and appeared with greats like Dickie Betts,
Les Thompson, Gary Puckett, 3 Dog Night, David Frizzell, Barbara Mandrell,
Kathy Mattea and The Kentucky Headhunters representing literally hundreds
of concerts in over 35 states, Canada and Mexico. He appeared in Vince
Gill's video "Pocket Full Of Gold" and Jim Varney's "Earnest Scared
Stupid". Mr. Kitchens' 300 song portfolio and his musical talents
(duties on the bass, vocalist and producer) has allowed him to work
in studios such as Star Day King, Nashville and Macon, Georgia, (555
International Records); Arrest Records, Washington, D.C., Sound Emporium,
The Grand, 16th Avenue in Nashville, Wind Walker in Goodlettsville
and Sound Kitchen in Franklin, Tennessee.
He also produced
and performed the single "Brothers" for Mike James Productions
released May 31, 1989, produced and performed on the concert for
the Nashville Coalition for the Homeless at the Ace of Clubs, Nashville
and has received four honorable mention awards from the Billboard
Songwriting contests.
Rockin' With The
Goose was originally written in October 1984 as an alternative
to developing music trends at that time. Feeling that lyrical content
was taking a step in the direction of explicit sexual reference
and a darker message, Lynn set out to create music that kids could
rock to but that didn't deliver the negative - hence Rockin' With
The Goose.
Lynn believes "music
of any kind, in itself, is harmless. Only when the lyrics step over
the line does it do damage."
It took 18 years,
a lot of rejection and a ton of persistence to see this project
to fruition.
In early 2001 an
angel arrived, Daniel Peterson, who by the way was the original
guitarist on the 1984 demo session, came on board as executive producer
which allowed Rockin' With The Goose to finally fly!
Kids of all ages
will enjoy this recording, from its incredible acoustic guitar work,
unbelievable horn section to its undeniably great drumming. The
vocals aren't bad either. A phenomenal mastering job by veteran
Jim Sandefur truly makes this recording shine.
And finally - thanks
to Mother Goose for some great lyrics!!
If you have a dream
and you truly believe, never ever give up and it will come true.
Rockin' With The Goose is proof.
