John Anderson
Guest Artist
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 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 '80s.
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'," which was named the Country Music Association's 1983 Song of the Year.
Awards include a 1996 Grammy® Award 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's Album of the Year Award for Common Threads: The Songs of the Eagles, for his part in the collaboration.
Anderson remains an influence to many of today's country artists, a colorful character and truly a country music treasure.
