Man, I hate to hear that. I liked a lot of John Anderson's songs, especially Seminole wind. Thanks for posting. You know it's sad news

Damn. Listened to Brown Liquor today on XM and thought about Seminole Wind and how I hadn’t listened to him forever. RIP to one of the good ones.

RIP.

I met John numerous times through my uncle. John was as gracious and down to earth as one could be.

My uncle, Joe Spivey, was in John’s band for many years and plays the fiddle on the record version of Seminole Wind and is on most of John’s albums.

I used to sing that song in my head when I would be deer hunting in the 80's with an old pony re-curve...

I was thinking about him just the other day for some strange reason... Maybe because of Charlotte Johnson.. or sum such.

he did over 500 TV episodes

Those who never watch old TV shows will probably know him best as the used car salesman in Psycho

Straight Tequila Night is an amazing song. And I hate country music with a passion.

One of those singers where you could tell who really liked 90’s country by if they knew his music

If you have children, listen to his song Years. Sierra Ferrell also has a great cover of it.
