Goldmine
To put it simply, John Anderson is one of the greatest country music<br>singers to ever step up to the microphone, possessing one of the most<br>instantly recognizable vocal instruments in the history of the genre.<br>On Anderson s latest album Goldmine, released on his own Bayou<br>Boys label, Anderson has completed a long overdue record of original<br>songs the award-winning songwriter wrote or co-wrote 12 of the<br>album s 13 tracks that will bring joy to the hearts of some of the<br>most devoted fans in country music. Goldmine is also a record that,<br>given the current state of contemporary country, could, like latter day<br>releases by Cash and Haggard before him, find a home amid lovers<br>of authentic music of any genre. Though he would never compare<br>himself to his heroes, the fact is, John Anderson is now the standard<br>bearer for traditional country music, of the 100 Proof variety.
