About Vicki Lynn
Vicki Lynn grew up surrounded by music, guided by her father, Lee Morris, a renowned singer, songwriter and record producer who collaborated with legends like Waylon Jennings, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Mickey Gilley. Born in Georgia and raised in Nashville from age 15, Vicki spent her formative years on Music Row, immersed in the music business at The Sound Lab Recording Studio, where her father was president. Here, she honed her craft as a demo and backup singer, performing across genres—Country, R&B, Pop, Jazz, and Gospel. Her diverse background ignited a passion for creating music that transcends boundaries, and with each song, she weaves heartfelt stories, real-life struggles, and timeless memories.
Her fourteen song album Butterfly, reflects the many transformations in her life and heart. Inspired by a season of profound change, including the passing of her father in 2020, Vicki included three of his songs as a tribute. Butterfly embodies hope, faith, and new beginnings—a journey she shares with her listeners. Vicki’s music invites people to connect, heal, and find inspiration, offering universal truths and emotions in every note.
Her first single digital and video release from the Butterfly album is, “To Make You Feel My Love” featuring Chris Luezinger on acoustic and electric guitar. A reminder of what Jesus has already done to make us feel his love then and now. Following this moving song will be the title track of her album, “Butterfly,” which Vicki had no dea that this song would become her own story of transformation.
In addition, in 2025 Vicki will be releasing the song and video for Please Don’t Take Me, a moving story of love, sacrifice, and healing, delivering a message of grace, mercy, and hope.
The experiences and insights she’s gained from a lifetime in music bring authenticity and purpose to her work, promising listeners a journey of soul-stirring melodies and lyrics that linger long after the music fades.
Vicki Lynn’s love for The Lord, family, friends and all those who support her is the key to her years of perseverance.

“To Make You Feel My Love”
OUT NOW!
It was during a whirlwind week of recording my Butterfly album at Nashville Sound Studio that something extraordinary happened. I thought I had the lineup of songs for the record all set, but as it turns out, there was still room for the unexpected. After a long day in the studio, I headed home, eager to unwind with a movie and some quiet time. But as I settled in, I found myself humming a melody I couldn’t place. The phrase “to make you feel my love” kept circling in my mind, as if it were determined to be heard.
Curious, I turned to the internet and looked up the song. That’s when I stumbled upon a video of Garth Brooks, seated on a stool with his guitar, singing “To Make You Feel My Love.” A flood of recognition washed over me—I had heard this song years ago, but it had faded from my memory until this very moment. The thought struck me like a whisper: Jesus, do you want me to record this song?
I pulled up the lyrics, and as I read them, my heart swelled. If the Lord could sing to us, I thought, this is exactly what He might say. The song resonated so deeply that I couldn’t shake the feeling it needed to be part of my project. But how could I squeeze it into my already-packed recording schedule? I envisioned it as a simple, intimate arrangement: just my voice and a guitar.
That’s when I remembered Garth’s iconic guitarist, Chris Leuzinger, would be playing on my session. Chris, who had crafted those unforgettable parts on songs like “Friends in Low Places,” was no stranger to creating magic. On a whim, I reached out to him to see if he’d be open to playing the song with me. His reply felt like a divine wink: “I just happen to have the charts!”

After a full day of recording, Chris and I stayed behind in the studio. It was just the two of us: one guitar, one voice. Pat Holt, our producer and engineer, suggested we give it a try. As I stepped into the vocal booth and Chris began to play, the room seemed to transform. The sound of his guitar filled the space, intertwining perfectly with my voice. Something special, something almost otherworldly, was happening. I sang straight through to the very end, and then there was silence.
Expecting to be asked for another take—after all, this was my very first attempt—I glanced toward Pat in the control room. Instead, he simply said, “Come on in and take a listen.” I was stunned. “That’s it?” I asked. He smiled and nodded. The first take was the final take.
Reflecting on that moment, I realized why. God knows what’s in our hearts and what we’re capable of, even more than we do. That recording wasn’t just about me or Chris or even the song—it was about something much greater. I believe “To Make You Feel My Love” is a message from God to each of us, a reminder of His unwavering love and desire to draw us close.

In the hushed quiet of a recording studio, where melodies often speak louder than words, Vicki Lynn Maxwell pours out her heart through her music. Her song, “Please Don’t Take Me,” is more than just lyrics set to a tune; it’s a poignant testament to her personal journey and the powerful message she carries.
I had the opportunity to interview Vicki Lynn and learned of her story—one that has since blossomed into a cherished friendship. At 19, Vicki Lynn faced a choice that would change her life forever—an abortion. The pain of that decision lingered, shaping her path in ways she could never have imagined. But Vicki Lynn didn’t let her pain define her; instead, she transformed it into a ministry, using her voice to reach others who might be walking a similar path of sorrow and regret.
In “Please Don’t Take Me,” Vicki Lynn gives a voice to the unborn child, crafting a narrative from the child’s perspective. The song opens with the poignant plea, “Please don’t take me,” capturing the innocent desire of a life not yet begun. The lyrics unfold, painting a vivid picture of the child inside the womb, who hears conversations from another room saying, “don’t keep her.” This refrain illustrates the difficult choices faced under intense pressure and the silent cries of the unborn child that often go unheard.
As the song progresses, the unborn child speaks of growing healthy and strong inside the mother. The lyrics capture the tender moments—a tiny heartbeat, a kick in the tummy—that bring smiles and dreams of a future together. It’s a powerful depiction of life in its earliest stages, full of hope and promise, even as uncertainty looms.
The child in the song expresses a desire to be close, “closer than a friend,” promising to be there for the mother and father through life’s journey, from the first steps to the last. This imagined future is a beautiful, albeit painful, glimpse into what could have been—a family united, a child growing up, finding love, and having a family of their own.
Through these heartfelt lyrics, Vicki Lynn touches on a universal longing for connection, love, and forgiveness. The song’s narrative reaches its climax with a message of grace and redemption. The child, from beyond the womb, offers a profound statement: “If you’ve had an abortion, there’s forgiveness in heaven.” This line cuts through the pain with a gentle reminder that healing is possible and that love and grace are always within reach.
Vicki Lynn’s journey through music is deeply intertwined with her roots. Born in Georgia and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, she grew up in the heart of the music industry. Her father, Lee Morris, a successful songwriter and producer, introduced her to the world of music at a young age. From performing backup vocals to learning the intricacies of studio life, Vicki Lynn’s upbringing was steeped in a rich tradition of musical diversity—country, R&B, pop, jazz, gospel. It’s no surprise that her songs carry a depth and authenticity that resonate with many.
Her latest single, “Butterfly,” written by Grammy Award-winning Hall of Fame songwriter Steve Dorff, is climbing the News Weekly Country radio charts. Like “Please Don’t Take Me,” “Butterfly” is a song of transformation, offering a message of hope and renewal. Each track on her album reflects a unique story, drawn from her life and experiences, sharing a piece of her heart with her listeners.
“Please Don’t Take Me,” co-written with Donald Perkins, stands out not only for its emotional depth but also for its dedication. It is a tribute to the precious unborn children whose voices were never heard but whose impact resonates deeply with all who listen.
Vicki Lynn Maxwell’s music is more than a collection of songs; it’s a ministry, a way to connect with those who have walked the path of pain and loss, offering them a lifeline of hope and a reminder of God’s infinite love and forgiveness.
