I think Lynn Anderson is responsible for turning a lot of people on to country music back in the '70s. She was on many network variety shows of the day - ones which you didn't normally see country artists - because of her mainstream appeal. I wasn't (and still not) a big country fan, but I've always liked Lynn's music. My gosh, she had as big a hit as any artist could have possibly had at the time with "Rose Garden." Pretty sure it still stands as one of the biggest selling crossover hits of all time. It was #1 around the world - pretty much unheard of at the time. <br /><br />Kim, you did a superb job at breaking down the album descriptions above. A couple are in my vinyl collection.

She brought class & elegance to the genre. Definitely an icon of the genre -- one who took it to places, prior to her, it wasn't accepted. Careers with the longevity of hers are long gone.

It was on an LP sampler of then-current hits, which included Johnny Paycheck's ""11 Months and 29 Days" and a couple other tracks that seemed rock-influenced. I've spent the 40 years since then as a hardcore collector of vintage country music, but have never checked out another Lynn Anderson tune. I guess this is my chance....Jonathan F.
