Description

Kurt Anderson has been playing music since he was fourteen. He has an incredibly diverse repertoire that includes Bluegrass, Old Time songs, Gospel, Blues and some more nearly contemporary material. His voice has the directness and clarity of Merle Haggard and Charlie Pride combined with the mournful, sandy texture of Hank Williams and the hillbilly blues of Jimmie Rodgers. Though he’s played guitar and sang backup roles on several other projects, this is his first solo album.

Seeing Kurt perform as a single act, you get a little better idea of what Kurt is like as a person. He’s a hillbilly who plays chess and loves and plays all types of music. His voice has the directness and clarity of Merle Haggard or Charlie Pride, combined with the mournful, sandy texture of Hank Williams. If you ask about Kurt’s favorite singers he’ll respond, “Merle Haggard…but there are so many…Waylon, the Carter Family…” And that’s just the country singers.

Anderson, who’s been playing music since he was fourteen, has an incredibly diverse repertoire that includes Bluegrass, Old Time songs, Gospel, Blues and some more nearly contemporary material. During nearly six decades in the music business, he has performed and shared stages with some of the best. Though he’s played and sang backup roles on several other projects, this is his first solo album. His many friends and fans across the country will be excited for this long-awaited release.
