I've rediscovered John Anderson. The first record of him that I had was his second that came out in the in the mid-eighties. I have always considered him as one of the best Country singers.
"Years" is beautiful. Not loaded with pedal steel, but with very nice splashes of it played by Russ Pahl. Very nice producing from Dan Auerbach.
I hope this sells well!

Thanks for the heads up. My wife and I were talking about him Saturday evening. We have always enjoyed his music and were wondering whatever became of him.
Now we know!

Many of the faded stars of yesteryear still are making records but nobody is hearing them. Some are self financed and most are on an independent label. None of the major labels are picking them up for distribution.
There is a lot of good sounding songs being created but they never receive any publicity.

That's exactly why I wanted to draw attention to the album, Jim.
Besides liking John Andersons new release I also felt the need to support the project with this buy. If this one doesn't sel well, than it could be his last.

I put Tracy Lawrence in this category. |

Dolly Parton and Reba McIntyre are two female legends that come to mind. Tracy Lawrence for sure, Mark Wills, Asleep At The Wheel, Trace Adkins, Travis Tritt, The Mavericks, Dixie Chicks, Rosanne Cash, Junior Brown.
Many of these artist recordings can now be found under the Americana or alt-country genre. Unfortunately there aren't many radio stations for either genre and the "classic country" stattions play the old hits, not the new releases.

I’ve opened for John several times and you will never meet a more down to earth guy. He walks in your dressing room, sits down, hangs out, and just talks.
You say “John Anderson†and most people think “Swanginâ€. Then he walks on the stage, doesn’t talk, and then does about an hour and a half of his hits. I watch and just keep going “oh yea, forgot about that oneâ€. He’s the real deal.

John remains one of my all time favorite "authentic" country music artists. He gave me a job when I first moved to Nashville in 1982 which I am grateful for and for me, it lasted 8 years. His voice still raises the hair on my arms and brings back very fond memories of those times.
We were able to team up again in 2013 on an old Ernest Tubb classic "Half A Mind" , for the tribute to Buddy Emmons project organized and produced by my friend Steve Fishell.
I was reminded of his incredible voice and his abilty to deliver a message and yes, more "hair raising".  As my friend Bill Cunningham said, he is the real deal!
So glad he's healthy and able to share his great talent with the rest of the world with his new record ... "Years".

| I heard him play at a club in San Antonio in the late 80's. Man did he ever have a killer band, had a six string bass guitar. I don't remember much about him but he band was unbelievable. |

That would have been "X Lincoln" on the 6-string bass-guitar; interesting guy with quite a history as I remember. I'm sure it would have been Buck playing steel, and if I remember correctly Larry Emmons (Buddy's son) was on bass in those days. |

Yes Pete... Larry Emmons playing bass and X Lincoln playing Tic-Tac 6 string bass. Jim Wolfe was the drummer and Mike Jordan played piano. That rhythm section was a force for sure and a blast to play with! Vern Pilder played guitar and Tom Morley on fiddle. What a blast from the past... good times!!
Man... where does the time go?

The credits from his "Eye Of The Hurricane". That's the band you're talking about Mr.Finney and Mr.Reid.

X Lincoln's real name was Billy Lee Tubb...ET's nephew...once a rockabilly artist who eventually became a sideman with people like Leroy Van Dyke and John Anderson...seems like I remember X working with Sammi Smith,too...
The last time I saw X he was filling in for his wife,who was the receptionist at"Magic Tracks",a studio in Berry Hill...
I never did find out what"X"stood for...

Yeah Steve... X was quite a character and in a good way! He also had a brief solo career in the 70's before I met him and went by the name of Ronnie Wade. Interesting guy and had a heart of gold.

Right,Buck!I forgot about"Ronny Wade",and also that X was Glenn Tubb's brother...as you know,Glenn wrote"Skip a Rope"...Glenn is still with us-he used to send me a demo to o/d now and then...

Turns out I was wrong thinking 70's. "Gotta Make Her Mine" by Ronny Wade was released in 1957. Your sweet, sweet kisses by X Lincoln was released in 1962. What a guy!
