John Anderson Tribute Album Set For Release With A Bunch Of Stars

John Anderson is a living legend.

Swingin’ was one of the songs that got me into country music early on. That hyper unique twang is impossible not to love. He has been an influence to many singers and now a handful got together for a tribute album titled Something Borrowed, Something New: A Tribute to John Anderson.

The album features artists Brothers Osborne, Tyler Childers, Eric Church, Brent Cobb, Luke Combs, Sierra Ferrell, Sierra Hull, Jamey Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Del McCoury, John Prine, Nathaniel Rateliff, Sturgill Simpson, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings all singing a cover of a Anderson classic.

“Listening to everybody do their own takes on the songs shows how the songs really come through. And I thought to myself, ‘You might have been young and foolish back then, but you sure did pick some good songs, It’s very gratifying to know that some things really do not change, and a great country song remains a great country song. Any one person on the record would be a real tribute, but all of them together? It’s a pretty big deal for me personally,” -John Anderson on Something Borrowed, Something New via jambands.com
