John Anderson is celebrating his four-decade career with a new 40-song album, 40 Years and Still Swinginâ.
The new two-disc album features both new tunes and fresh takes on many of his No. 1 hits, including âSwinginâ,â âBlack Sheep,â âWild and Blue,â âStraight Tequila Nightâ and âMoney in the Bank.â
âThis year has started out on fire for us and no sign of slowing down,â says John. âI feel great and am enjoying this part of my 40-year career more than any other time I remember. This two-disc set was long overdue and has the hits youâd expect, but also includes a few previously unreleased songs that didnât make it onto past albums for one reason or another, but I felt they deserved a chance to be heard. Itâs always nice to walk down memory lane, but we arenât resting either.â
In addition to more than a dozen upcoming tour dates, John is featured in the new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame: American Currents: The Music of 2018.
