John Anderson
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.

Recently, John has released “Anthology” on his own JA Records, distributed by Audium/KOCH Entertainment. This 30 song collection is a culmination of all the hits in John Anderson’s spectacular career as well as a few important songs that have been popular in his road show and frequently requested by his loyal following. John states, “This project has great significance to me as this music and the musicians who played on it have become a big part of my life. I love and appreciate my fans and thank all of the people that have supported my music!”

John Anderson…an influence to many of today’s country artists, a colorful character and truly a country music treasure!
