John Anderson will be swingin' in Hollywood Bay St. Louis

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 true-to-life, yet larger-than-life, saga of one of the most dramatic career turn-arounds of the 1990's. 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 '80's. "Swingin' "was not only the Country Music Association's 1983 Song of the year; more recently it was cited by the A.M.O.A. as one of its all-time top-forty jukebox hits--right up there with "Hey Jude" and other perennial favorites by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline, George Jones, and The Rolling Stones.

"Straight Tequila Night," the lead-off single from Seminole Wind (Anderson's debut album for BNA Entertainment), went to number one across the board on every country chart. It was his first bona-fide chart-topper since "Black Sheep" in 1983. "When It Comes To You," the second single, reached number two, while "Seminole Wind," the heartfelt title tune soared to number one when released later in 1992. Jay Orr, a noted music writer for the Nashville Banner, was one of several critics to list "Seminole Wind" in a top-ten album round-up for 1992.

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. "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," said Anderson.
