Blast From the Past: John Anderson
If it feels like eons since the last time you heard something new from John Anderson that’s because he hasn’t released a new album since Nobody’s Got It All in 2001, but that’s all about to change come 2007. To get to the roots of his latest album, Easy Money, we have to go back ten years:
John Anderson was headlining and a new country band called Lonestar was booked as the opening act. The group’s bass player — a 22-year-old pup named John Rich — knocked on Anderson’s tour bus door.
Fast forward nine years and that admirer is now half of superduo Big & Rich, not to mention one of Nashville’s hottest songwriters. Anderson reconnects with him through producer Paul Worley, and the two book a songwriting session.
Anderson’s career has already been littered with success and it seems as things will only get better with his new album. Some of his timeless classics include: “Let Go of the Stone”, “Swingin’”, “Seminole Wind”, “Money in the Bank”, “Straight Tequila Night”, and “I Fell In the Water”.
Easy Money is set to include legends Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson, and how can you not love the title of the tracks “Something to Drink About”, “I Can’t Make Her Cry Anymore”, and “Willie’s Guitar”.

We've labored long and hard to come up with our list of the Top 10 Country Albums of 2008. Click here to see who claimed the honor of the year's top album, as chosen by The 9513's staff and writers.
Don’t confuse disappointing with worst, as that list would most likely be dominated by obscure indie knockoff bands along with a couple of mainstream releases. There has to be a modicum of expectation that’s dashed upon the release of an album for it to qualify for the year’s most disappointing.
Join host Kelly Dearmore as he shines the light on several noteworthy album releases you might have missed and interviews various artists, from Sarah Borges to Trent Willmon and Reckless Kelly to Wade Bowen, in the first two episode of The 9513 podcast.
