JOHN ANDERSON - Made it with a voice that was traditional enough to make Emmylou Harris wonder if Anderson might be a distant relative of Lefty Frizzell, yet that was, and is, instantly identifiable. He made it with original music that landed him in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and with radio hits including chart-toppers "Swingin,'" "Straight Tequila Night," "Wild and Blue," "Black Sheep," and "Money in the Bank."
Before Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, and Randy Travis were household names, John Anderson was Nashville's young and hard-charging traditionalist, devoted to extending the legacies forged by Haggard, Jones, and Cash, and loathe to compromise when he knew he was right. And, when it came to making music, he knew he was right.
Anderson signed with Warner Bros. in 1976, and set about making music that would gain notice from legends. Haggard heard him early on, and invited him on the bus for a heart-to-heart.
At the time "Your Lying Blue Eyes" came out, Anderson was playing with house bands around the South. The song became his first Top 20 hit, and soon the name "John Anderson" on a roadside club sign was enough to fill up a parking lot with Trans Am's and pickup trucks. A string of hits ensued, with "1959," "Chicken Truck", "I Just Came Home To Count the Memories" and "Would You Catch a Falling Star" leading up to his breakthrough, the John Scott Sherrill-penned "Wild and Blue." That song was the title track of an album that included Anderson's first million-selling single, "Swingin,'" written with old friend and running partner Lionel Delmore.
