John Anderson

The story of John Anderson and his platinum-plus album, Seminole Wind, is the story of the country music "come-back" of the decade. It's the true-to-life, yet larger-than-life, saga of one of the most dramatic career turn-arounds of the 1990's. It's the story of just reward for a singer who originally took country music by storm and helped keep it true to its roots back in the early '80's. His memorable hits from that musical era included Wild and Blue, I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal, 1959, I Just Came Home To Count The Memories, Black Sheep and Swingin'. Swingin' was not only the Country Music Association's 1983 Song of the year; more recently it was cited by the A.M.O.A. as one of its all-time top-forty jukebox hits--right up there with Hey Jude and other perennial favorites by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, George Jones, and The Rolling Stones. John followed Seminole Wind with three more critically acclaimed albums, spawning hits like, Money In The Bank, I Fell In The Water, I Wish I Could Have Been There, Country 'Til I Die, Bend It Until It Breaks and Mississippi Moon. John Anderson is a seasoned and improved model of the same tried-and-true, dyed-in-the-wool country vocalist who critics lauded more than a decade ago for having brought, "renewed beauty and elegance to the twin-fiddle, steel guitar tradition of the old-time honky-tonk balladeer." The editors of Country Music Magazine, in celebration of the magazine's twenty- fifth anniversary, compiled their individual choices for the best twenty records of the past twenty years, three of Anderson's early albums made their respective short lists. Other awards include a Grammy Award in 1996 for Amazing Grace: A Country Salute To Gospel. In 1994 the Academy of Country Music honored him with their "Career Achievement Award." The same year he received the Country Music Association "Album of the Year" for Common Threads: The Songs of the Eagles. Swingin' won the CMA "Single of the Year" in 1983. He has also received numerous nominations for Grammies, ACM's and CMA's and has several gold and platinum album certifications. John Anderson...an influence to many of today's country artists, a colorful character and truly a country music treasure!
