from Richard Taylor, KY Poet Laureate 1999-2001
"Your lyrics work for me. What comes through in...the songs...is complete sincerity and love for Kentucky -- both the Bluegrass and the mountains. There is a poetic sensibility at work in your lyrics, an ability to convert experience into images that seduce rather than mystify the listener."

From Mark's Online Music Source - Acoustic and Storytellers
A gathering of friends accompanied singer-songwriter Lyn Hacker in the recording studio - weaving her original compositions into a warm blanket that wraps the listener in a geniune appreciation of country roots through songs written from the heart. Elements of reflection are penned into lyrical thoughts as each song captures the specific mood Hacker wants to share with her audience. Her down to earth writing and warm vocals form an honest quality that is lacking in much of today's mainstream music. There's a wealth of wisdom written into each of Hacker's gentle stories. You'll come across several gems as you delve into this impressive 12 song disc - neatly tucked inside an inspired package. "Springtime In Kentucky" won the American Songwriter Magazine award. Musicians that joined Lyn Hacker in the studio include regional favorites such as Jesse Pena, Nick Stump, Tim Lake, Brad Becker, Danny Cecil, and others. "Girl Who Loves Horses" - a pause that refreshes through genuine songs written from the heart - (c) 2010 Mark's Online Music Source

From Ellen Mizell
Lyn has an authentic, individual voice and her lyrics ring true. No Kentuckian, living in exile, can listen to this without feeling both joy and homesickness at this beautiful music!
