Goldmine
To put it simply, John Anderson is one of the greatest country music
singers to ever step up to the microphone, possessing one of the most
instantly recognizable vocal instruments in the history of the genre.
On Anderson s latest album Goldmine, released on his own Bayou
Boys label, Anderson has completed a long overdue record of original
songs the award-winning songwriter wrote or co-wrote 12 of the
album s 13 tracks that will bring joy to the hearts of some of the
most devoted fans in country music. Goldmine is also a record that,
given the current state of contemporary country, could, like latter day
releases by Cash and Haggard before him, find a home amid lovers
of authentic music of any genre. Though he would never compare
himself to his heroes, the fact is, John Anderson is now the standard
bearer for traditional country music, of the 100 Proof variety.
