Sadly true among alot of country fans, but as long as I'm able to sing and walk on a stage he will be appreciated for sure! I love his unique sound and songs. He is definitely one of the Greats of Real Country Music!
It’s 2020 now, I am 36 years old, and I grew up listening to John’s music. He has a voice like no other, and I still love him today as much as I ever did!!
I agree with you there. This man's voice and his style of singing is very unique. The way he sings can make you feel like you were there when the song took place. The way he appears in these interviews makes him seem like he could start a long conversation with even a stranger and make it feel like he had known you for several years. He seems like a very nice guy and someone who is really down to earth
John Anderson Is the real Goldmine! I've always loved his music. So underrated as a REAL country music artist. You know who he Is the Instant you hear either the start of the song or his voice. God Bless You John Anderson! Thanks for all of the great music and getting me through some hard times.
I'm Johns 2nd Cousin. Amazing artist!!! I remember when I was 10 or 11 years old mom n dad and myself went over to (Junior and Juanita's) Johns parents house, John took the time to show me a blue electric guitar he had before taking off to band practice. This was in Apopka FL shortly before I believe he left for Nashville. Didn't hear much for the next couple of years until he released a 45 with (Swoop Down Sweet Jesus) on the A side. I think this was around late 1979 or 1980. Then of course shortly after he exploded on the country music scene. I've always admired his song writing and vocal talent. Wish more people where exposed to this extraordinary gifted musician and man.
I am John's ex next door neighbor when he lived for nearly a decade at his cruddy mgr's house Ed Morgan, after swoop. If you know him well, you know his opinion of that song, nuff said. Ed Morgan, Irving Tx. I roadied dallas and ft worth clubs and played along during practice occasionally (very quietly). Went to school with the she devil, Bev that was his succubus for a short time. John has ALWAYS been glad to see me, wow my daughters with invites and meets, and to this day, can amaze me by picking them out of a crowd. This was when Vernon and Gypsy were his guitarists. One day, went over to visit, and get some air, that was free of my parents, (who always griped about the band practicing next door, 'TILL HE HIT IT!). Said he had signed with warner, I think it was. They ordered his choice of guitars, he specified Martin d35 with brazillian rosewood to seal the deal. I now own a Kazuo Yairi brazillian copy of this. Martin factory burned after his order was placed, he freaked because all of the brazillian burned, but they called him personally to say his brazillian wood had already been pulled prior to the Martin factory fire, so he got one of the last brazillian Martins of that era. One time he came back to town after hitting it, asked me to watch the guitar while he went out on the town. Said "watch it close! I mean take it to the bathroom with you!" Y'know, my Dad must have called the irving tx pd near a hundred times on John and Ed. Even so, John was always, ALWAYS! very very courteous and cordial, to a fault! And it was wierd, so was my dad, to John. He loathed Ed Morgan, John's band mgr and landlord and our next door neighbor. You may quote me, John is my Brother, and he calls me brother as well! Steve Lawrence
I was a JA fan from the start. when my wife and teenage kids heard Seminole wind they got on board and we all still love him. Good man and a Godly man.
For me and my kids, it was Swingin' I live just outside of SLC and got so lucky a few years back that John happened to be performing 3 hours away in Jackpot, NV. I'd never before heard of this small casino town. The casino showroom, Cactus Jacks, probably held 100 people. Half seated, half at tables. Quite possibly the most intimate performance I've ever experienced with such a legend. Worth its weight in gold!
John I've been a fan of yours for year's glad that your music stayed the same over the years, a great song writer an singer thank you for your music....
Love John Anderson and Joe Spivey and the John Anderson band. I have had the pleasure of meeting them. They are really great people and so down to earth. I have listened to them since day one and will do so for the rest of my life. Country till I die ❤️❤️❤️
Indeed a national treasure. I love his music, the singing and writing which for me has a spiritual component to it. Most of all, I admire his humility, a great American gentleman who shines always. I'm a serious fan. The man is a national treasure. Listen to his music, and you'll know.
Mr. John Anderson you are a very intriguing good man. My life choices and likes of music would not be the same without you. You are all in your own and in my favorite Top Ten in my lifetime. Don't make em like you anymore that's for sure an certain. God Bless you and keep you.....
As a fellow Floridian I always loved your style and music. You were a musical influence for me and I miss hearing you on the radio. Millions of us long to hear real country from the Artists that have made country music from Hank Williams SR to George Strait and Alan Jackson. The record labels have abandoned us for this pop country. There is room for both but if you watch these award shows they seem to be doing everything they can to remove the country from country music. Get the word out and your fans that love you will buy your music.
He seems like the kind of person who could sit down and have a long conversation with anyone as if he their best friend and had known them for several years. His tone of voice is very distinct. The way he sings could make you feel like you were there when the song or story was taking place. He is really great
John Anderson, a great interview. You a great "every man". Come to Marion Illinois. You could be the headliner of the year but we have some great shows here.
John Anderson you are the best songwriter the best singer country music that I've ever listened to in my life you taught them all off and thank you for all the good music that you have put out because I try my best to listen to it every day because it really has a meaning behind it and I want to thank you Mike dry sign-in now
Thank u so much for your great music and your band.You gave a free concert in crestview florida a long time ago and drove the crowd wild all the way to the end.Played for over a hour and saved Swingen to the end and everyone went crazy.Thank u very much
Superb country singer with unique style . The first album that I first heard him was "I Just Came Home To count The Memories" I still think it is one of the greatest albums I ever purchased .
John Anderson , an American song writing gold mine . Vintage style country music is what makes me love country music .the new stuff really rubs me wrong . Here in Carolina , we love you John !!!
Once I was a small time musician in Macon, Ga and had the privilege of working with Murray Price. A few days ago I was thinking of him and was able to find him on RUclips to my amazement. I remember you from way back then but had never laid eyes on you for some odd reason. When I saw you performing Working Man Blues and Old Chunk of Coal from 1982 I fell in love! Then I said to my husband, "Wonder what he even looks like now?" Then this interview appeared next and I've got to say, I'm still in love! The interview is wonderful and I was particularly pleased to hear about your friendship with The Hag, as I have always loved him! Glad you're still at it and I hope you don't stop anytime soon. Good luck and God Bless!
This goes out to John Anderson my favorite is yellow Creek you're singing about my ancestors it's a true and beautiful story to me it's bittersweet it's a Irish didn't come over here and get with the Cherokee Indian in Tennessee I wouldn't be here love you very much love all your music to me you will always be number one
John Anderson,, I love you and I love all of your music whether it's Chicken Truck or Your Lying Blue Eyes,, I love your voice♥️ and John,, you are truly country! That's what makes us love you♥️
Yes a truly unique voice and an ordinary guy. And gotta love that accent and his spirit of gratitude. Thank you John. Yep, Jesus' birthday. Gives your song, "I will cross o'er the river" special meaning. Again my hope is that before you "cross o'er the River" that you cross o'er the ocean to Western Australia for a concert in Perth.
I have always liked Mr. Anderson, I like him even more after seeing this interview. Good honest, humble folks who are thankful for the Lord's blessings are the backbone of this country. There ought to be more like Mr. Anderson.
John Anderson he has the most amazing songs to listen to and it really touched the heart and soul of a person and sometimes the song could help you reflect of life and where you want to go to John Anderson I'm a fan and I say thank you for your music
What is sad is is john under rates his self when he is by far one of the best singers ever.when you can sing a song about a haunted house your one gifted person .love you music always have
BRING ON THE TRADITION ...... ...YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE FAMILY THAT LOVE YOU HERE IN THE DEEP COUNTRY......YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN YOU ARE A SUPERSTAR TO US...
Ive knew this man for a long time since, at least 1979 in myrtle beach sc when I lived there. Went too all his concerts got his signature on alot of stuff picture made with him have all his albums still signed by him. And I am so glad the good has brought him out from where he was yrs ago when he was sick. I've committed so many times hoping he reads his fans comments for him to comment too me guess he doesn't but he is still a great singer in my eyes . My old friend John ,God bless you man 🥰❤🙏👍👌👆 maybe one day you will comment to me .
JOHN I am so glad to hear that you are coming to buffalo in February with Lauren Alaina and the Bellamy brothers and Trace Adkins and Blake Shelton.that's great pal.Hope to see you soon.
Great Interview. Thank You!!! I would love to see Mr. Anderson continue to sing his music especially, the Seminole Wind. I would love for him to expand this song because they continue to dig their empty holes, with their plans of draining our lands, all for the Silver and Gold or as they may call it "the Matrix." Wish we could connect, to discuss our vision and plans. It would be our honor to work with him to reconnect People to Our Mother Earth, What He Has Given!!! Hopeful that someone can help us connect??? Native Floridian that grow up in the Florida Swamp and as children, swam in the very drainage canals that drained our lands. #MniWiconi #WaterIsLife #WeCanDoBetter
I wrote a song with Lional Delmore that was published with his company. The song is called Carolina Shade. Lional and I lived on the same floor at our apartment complex back in the early 1980s in Nashville. Lional wrote Just a Swing'n with John. Lional originally wrote the song as a slow ballad. I was one of the few persons to have heard this song before it was recorded by John Anderson.
One of the most underappreciated real true country singers in the country.
TRUTH
Sadly true among alot of country fans, but as long as I'm able to sing and walk on a stage he will be appreciated for sure! I love his unique sound and songs. He is definitely one of the Greats of Real Country Music!
Amen
Absolutely
100% agree! John is the Man!
I don't always listen to John Anderson music , but when I do so do my neighbors.
My neighbors liked it so much,that they invited the law to listen!
My neighbors had to learn to love his music. LOL
I love this, Scott! It made my day.
🤣😂😂😂👍

John Anderson is by far one of my very favorite artists.

John Anderson really is one of America’s true country music artists.the best voice In country music that I’ve enjoyed for many years and still enjoy….

Thank you for that glimpse into his life and yours.....it was sweet....😁❤
I am John's ex next door neighbor when he lived for nearly a decade at his cruddy mgr's house Ed Morgan, after swoop. If you know him well, you know his opinion of that song, nuff said.

I love when he said his music "isn't fitting in" with today's country music. Have loved his music from day one. His first album is genius.
As a fellow Floridian I always loved your style and music. You were a musical influence for me and I miss hearing you on the radio.

Get the word out and your fans that love you will buy your music.
Florida related, "Seminole Wind" is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. John is a great man and a national treasure. Yet so humble.
@Horrzo, Very True. As a Floridian Windsurfer back in the 80's
AGREED
He seems like the kind of person who could sit down and have a long conversation with anyone as if he their best friend and had known them for several years. His tone of voice is very distinct. The way he sings could make you feel like you were there when the song or story was taking place. He is really great
I started listening to him in high school and haven’t stopped. He is a true story teller
God bless you John! May God keep your money supplied. Met you in NC 10 years ago: you’re a classy guy. Keep it country, brother! Jesus loves all!!!
John Anderson. One of the greatest true country artists. SMOOOOTH. Great voice
So talented. Please appreciate him now people.
John is a man among men. True County singer,we love you in the land of the Seminole!
John Anderson. We will meet. You are my country music idol. And especially after this interview, I see that we could be friends too...
John...from a Floridian brother... YOU sir are one of THE BEST!! Have listened to your music from the git go..

Just came home to count the memories 😢
I love his music, he seems like a really humble and nice man.
Great Interview. Thank You!!! I would love to see Mr. Anderson continue to sing his music especially, the Seminole Wind. I would love for him to expand this song because they continue to dig their empty holes, with their plans of draining our lands, all for the Silver and Gold or as they may call it "the Matrix." Wish we could connect, to discuss our vision and plans. It would be our honor to work with him to reconnect People to Our Mother Earth, What He Has Given!!! Hopeful that someone can help us connect???

I wrote a song with Lional Delmore that was published with his company. The song is called Carolina Shade. Lional and I lived on the same floor at our apartment complex back in the early 1980s in Nashville. Lional wrote Just a Swing'n with John. Lional originally wrote the song as a slow ballad. I was one of the few persons to have heard this song before it was recorded by John Anderson.
