Touring with
Blake Shelton, and Inclusion in New ‘American Currents’ Exhibit
at the
Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum

Nashville, Tenn.  — In celebration of four decades of hits, country music traditionalist 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 now at Amazon.com. Album streaming (Spotify) and downloads (iTunes, Google Play) will be available this Friday, March 8HERE.

Also on March 8, the American Currents: The Music of 2018 exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum in Nashville will open to the public. The exhibit will include artifacts from Anderson’s storied career.

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.

“Connecting with old and new fans alike on Blake’s tour has been a lot of fun,” he adds. “One segment of the show is all of us with acoustic guitars, getting the heart of the song. That’s how I started out, and I’ve kept that value first after all these years.”
