Lynn Anderson was born "Lynn Rene Anderson" on September 26, 1947 in Grand Forks, North Dakota and raised in California. Her parents were songwriters Casey and Liz Anderson, and Liz wrote the Merle Haggard hits "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers" and "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive."
In 1966, Lynn Anderson released her debut single, a duet with Jerry Lane
called "For Better or for Worse."
It failed to chart, but she went on to score her first top-5 hit, "If I
Kiss You (Will You Go Away)" in 1967. Anderson went on to appear on ABC's
The Lawrence Welk Show as a regular in 1967 and 1968.
Liz Anderson composed such country music hits as 'The
Fugitive' and 'My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers' for Merle Haggard. Merle Haggard's band, The Strangers, was
named after the latter hit. Lynn's
father, Casey Anderson, also wrote songs.
Anderson charted nearly 60 country hits and had her
own CBS television special in 1977. Her career began to fade by the early '80s,
and Anderson scored her final top 10 hit
in 1983 with the Gary Morris duet, "You're Welcome to Tonight." She
released albums sporadically in recent years with her most recent 12 track project, BRIDGES (Center Sound Records),
Lynn was
married to producer/songwriter Glenn
Sutton from 1968 to 1977. He produced several of her hit songs — and wrote
some too, including “You’re My Man” and “Keep Me in Mind” — but the couple
would divorce in 1977.
On January 24, 2005, a short time after her last
arrest, Anderson was accused of
shoplifting a Harry Potter DVD from a local supermarket in her hometown of
Taos, New Mexico. Upon her arrest she punched the arresting officer. She was
charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest and assault on a police officer. The
assault charges were later dropped. Her next arrest was on May 3, 2006, when
she was arrested on a second driving
under the influence of alcohol charge following a minor traffic accident
near Espanola, New Mexico. According to police, Anderson failed a sobriety test
and refused to take a breathalyzer test after her car hit the back of another
car. No one was injured in the collision and she was again charged and released
on bond.

Other artists to record "Rose Garden" include Mary Duff, Billie Jo Spears, Glen Campbell, Sandie Shaw, Jast Last, Andy Williams, Joe South, Ann Pascoe and Kate Campbell.
After living in Taos, New Mexico for twenty years, Ms.
Anderson decided it was time to move back to Nashville. Lynn owned several horses and competed at national equestrian events. Lynn
Anderson hit the concert trail two or three times a month, headlining major
casinos, performing arts centres, fairs and festivals.

DAY ONE - My first day without you has begun/ Today's the day you said "Goodbye" - I've only just begun to cry/ I can't believe it's over and you're gone - DAY ONE
Canadian country pop group k.d. lang and the Reclines covered the song for their 1987 album Angel with a Lariat (Spotify). In 2005. Martina McBride included the song on her album of covers, Timeless.
Other artists to record "Rose Garden" include Mary Duff, Billie Jo Spears, Glen Campbell, Sandie Shaw, Jast Last, Andy Williams, Joe South, Ann Pascoe and Kate Campbell.
According to Lynn Anderson, if there had not been some
time left on a 1970 recording session, her million seller, “Rose Garden,” might
never have been recorded! Lynn had
heard the song on Joe South’s 1969 “Introspect” album. She repeatedly asked her
husband and record producer Glenn Sutton, to let her record the song and he
repeatedly turned her down. Lynn said, “There were lines in the song which the
record company thought weren’t right for me—lines like “I could promise you
things like big diamond rings.” A
woman just wouldn’t say that to a man-so they thought a female singer singing
those lyrics just wouldn’t work.”
But fate intervened and a Nashville recording session finished 15 minutes early and they didn’t have any other songs scheduled to record. Columbia Records had planned another song for Lynn’s next release-but label head Clive Davis happened to hear the tape of “Rose Garden” and decided it would be the next Lynn Anderson single. According to Lynn, “I believe that “Rose Garden” was released at just the right time. People were trying to recover from the Vietnam years. The message in the song that—if you just take hold of life and go ahead—you can make something out of nothing—people just took to that.”

The message in the song that—if you just take hold of life and go ahead—you can make something out of nothing—people just took to that.”
When Nashville's golden girl Lynn Anderson cut her sad
tinged 1971 smash hit “Garden”, she never imagined her life story would become a tearjerker too. "I was called the Grace Kelly of country
music," she observed. "I
figured I could own the world." But, at 35, and about to revive her
showbiz career by appearing in the CBS-TV movie Country Gold, Lynn sadly had
lived out the experiences she once only sang about.
(People Magazine) Shaken by a Rough Divorce, Country Singer Lynn Anderson Is
Now Husbanding Her Career (Nov 29, 1982)
Just a year previous Lynn filed a counter-suit for
separation from Harold "Spook"
Stream, the estate manager for and scion of a prominent Louisiana family.
According to news reports at the time, Anderson charged that Spook had abused her physically and once attempted to run over her with a car.
"When angry, people say and do things they wouldn't normally do at other
times," she said. "We were both
hurt and striking out at each other." They had met four years earlier,
when she was performing at a rodeo. "We
hit it off immediately," Lynn said. Already once divorced, Lynn soon
moved in with Spook, sanctifying their love with formal vows on Valentine's
Day, 1978. They also shared a passion for horses and traveled extensively.
For Lynn the promise of wedded bliss was such that she
walked away from her performing and recording career to devote herself to
her husband and family. She had a child (Lisa, then aged 10) from her 10-year
marriage to songwriter-producer Glenn
Sutton, and she and Spook would had two of their own (William Gray, 3, and
Bunny, 1). "I had been in the music
business all my adult life," she shared. "I had won the awards and had a million-selling record, so I thought it
was a natural progression for me at that point to change my priorities”. In
retrospect, Lynn claimed she really didn't want the divorce.
Spook filed court papers barely two weeks after her
departure and Lynn said: "I heard
about it sitting at home with my 6-month-old baby watching the 10 o'clock news.
I couldn't believe it," she says. To avoid a potentially devastating
public custody fight, she and Spook came to an agreement (she retained custody
of their children).

Fast forward to Tuesday Sept 14, 2004, Lynn Anderson
saw the release of THE BLUEGRASS
SESSIONS (DM Records, 2004), which was produced by Bill Vorn Dick and which
included bluegrass versions of some of Lynn Anderson's biggest hits, including
the following: What A Man, My Man Is', 'Rocky Top' written by the late Boudleaux
Bryant (Feb 13, 1920 – June 25, 1987) and Felice Bryant (Aug 7, 1925 – April 22,
2003), 'How Can I Unlove You' (Joe South) 'Rose Garden', 'Paradise' (written by

(written by Kenny Young and Arthur Resnick), 'Ride Ride Ride', 'If I Kiss You

Carpenter)
In 2015, Anderson signed with Center Sound Records to
release a new country gospel album, BRIDGES.
The album featured a gospel version of the hit "Drift Away", with new lyrics by the writer. The album was
released on June 9, 2015, as both digital download and limited-edition 45rpm
(red) vinyl, which features collaborations with the Oak Ridge Boys and the
Martins.
This project took on a uniquely special connection as
it developed into a family affair.
Liz Anderson’s song ‘My Guardian Angel’, published by her father Casey, is featured on the album and her partner Mentor Williams rewrote one of his top hits Drift Away for release as well.
Lynn recently told Billboard, "I’ve been so blessed in my life that things have kind of seemed to fall in place for me. I just have to keep on the right path, and not jaunt off to the left or the right. I love how the lyrics of Wander's Prayer [on Bridges] speaks of asking the Lord to keep me in the right direction."

idea to include the vinyl.
AWARDS
Lynn Anderson earned a Grammy Award nomination, in 2004, for 'The Bluegrass Sessions' (DM
Records, 2004).
In a country music career which spanned over four
decades, Lynn Anderson scored eleven No.1s, eighteen Top 10 hits and over fifty
Top 40 hits.
Lynn Anderson earned a total of seventeen 'Gold'
albums and won virtually every award available to a female recording artist:
1971: Prestigious Grammy
Award for "Best Country Vocal Performance, Female."
1967: Academy
of Country Music (ACM) 'Female Vocalist of the Year' (twice; again in 1970)
1971: Country
Music Association (CMA) 'Female Vocalist of the Year' (Oct. 10, 1971,
presenter George "Goober" Lindsey Photo)
1974: American
Music Award 'Favourite Female Vocalist'
Record World's 'Artist of the Decade' (1970 - 1980)
Billboard's 'Artist of the Decade' (1970 - 1980).
Her success in the equestrian community was equally as
monumental as her music career winning 16
National Championships and four
world championships across the American
Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) and National
Cutting Horse Association (NCHA). She was known for raising the champion
breeds as her horses captured numerous titles---Lady Phase (first AQHA World
Champion and Breyer Horse Model), Skip's Challenge (two time Congress Champion
and Amateur Western Pleasure), Delta (Paint Horse Hall of Fame), etc.
One of the keys to Lynn's success was that she always
made her fans a priority. Since the inaugural year of Fan Fair (now CMA Music
Festival) in 1972, Lynn has only missed one year due to illness as she greatly
valued the direct connection to her devoted and loving fans at that event.

Wayne.

throughout her career. For twenty years, she has worked with both the Roundup for

organizations.
TRIBUTES:
Several stars have shared their thoughts on Lynn
Anderson's contribution to country music, via a release sent out by her
publicist.
"It has been an honor to represent Lynn Anderson
for almost a decade and our sincere condolences are extended to her family,
friends and a fans." said Pam Lewis
of PLA Media.
"I am a huge fan of Lynn’s. She was always so nice to me. She did so much
for the females in country music. Always
continuing to pave the road for those to follow. I loved her music and her love
for horses. Rose Garden was a song I sang in high school in our Kiowa Cowboys
High School band. She will be missed." Reba McEntire.
"It was a pleasure to record with Lynn. I remember the first time we saw her at the
Utah State Fair. We were playing the
small stage and we finished early enough to see her on the main stage. She owned Utah that night. She didn't stop until she won everybody's
hearts including mine. She sang her way to heaven." Duane Allen of The Oak Ridge Boys.
"Lynn was such a sweet lady and a true classic. I
loved her and I loved listening to her sing I've Never Loved Anyone More and
Rose Garden. It was so great to hang out with her recently at CMA Music
Festival. We will all miss her, her great smile and her sweet spirit." Phil Vassar
"Losing Lynn Anderson is a personal loss to the
Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI).
Lynn was family. Her parents,
Casey Anderson and the late Liz Anderson, were two of NSAI’s founding members.
Her parents were given the “Stephen Foster” award by NSAI in February this
year, where Lynn performed. We will
truly miss her.” Bart Herbison,
Executive Director of Nashville
Songwriters Association.
