John Anderson Celebrates Four Decades Of Music With 40-Song Project

March 6, 2019/by Jessica Nicholson

In celebration of four decades of hits, John Anderson has released 40 Years and Still Swingin’. The new two-disc album revisits the songs that speak straight to his creative artistry and commitment to the genre.

The 40-song album includes several previously unreleased tracks as well as fresh new takes of his biggest hits, including “Seminole Wind,” “Black Sheep,” “Money in the Bank,” “Straight Tequila Night,” “Swingin,'” and “Wild and Blue.”

“This year has started out on fire for us and no sign of slowing down… I feel great and am enjoying this part of my 40-year career more than any other time I remember,” says Anderson. “This two-disc set was long overdue and has the hits you’d expect, but also includes a few previously unreleased songs that didn’t make it onto past albums for one reason or another, but I felt they deserved a chance to be heard. It’s always nice to walk down memory lane, but we aren’t resting either!”

The new collection of songs is available for purchase at amazon.com. Album streaming and downloads will be available this Friday, March 8.

Last month, Anderson embarked on Blake Shelton’s “Friends & Heroes” tour. On the national road show, Anderson joins Shelton, the Bellamy Brothers, Trace Adkins and Lauren Alaina for an 18-city tour across the country.
