Bill Anderson Receives TSAI Lifetime Achievement Award

April 11, 2025/by Lorie Hollabaugh

Bill Anderson Accepts TSAI Lifetime Achievement Award

Bill Anderson received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Tennessee Songwriters Association International this week during a ceremony at Harken Hall.

Songwriter Bobby Tomberlin gave a rousing performance of a few of the hits Anderson has penned over the past 70 years, and songwriter Danny Wells presented the honor during the special event.

“I have been trying to write songs for most of my adult life, so to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award, especially from other songwriters, is a very special and humbling honor. My sincere appreciation to the members of TSAI for recognizing me with such a meaningful award,” says Anderson.

Country Music Hall of Famer and Grand Ole Opry titan Anderson is the rare songwriter whose first major label cut went to No. 1 on the charts, was named Song of The Year and sparked a writing career that is currently in its seventh decade. With songs like “City Lights,” “Tips Of My Fingers,” the Grammy-nominated “Once A Day,” “Saginaw, Michigan,” “That’s What It’s Like To Be Lonesome,” “I Missed Me,” “Cold Hard Facts Of Life,” (which earned him another Grammy nomination,) “Mama Sang A Song,” “Still” and more, he was voted country Songwriter of the Year six times during his first decade in Music City and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.
