John Anderson is releasing his first album of new original material for the first time in nine years!  Goldmine will hit stores on May 26th featuring 13 tracks, 12 of which he co-wrote.

“With Goldmine, I thought, first off, I’m going to take my songs into the studio and make a record like I think it ought to be made, without all those other influences,” Anderson says, “I’m more pleased with the sound of this record than I have been in a long time.  I’m really proud of this album. At this point, it’s just for me and the fans. A best case scenario for me is if the fans that have loved our music and supported us for so many years know Goldmine is out there, and how to get it, I’ll be happy.”

Anderson will be releasing a single to radio, “I Work A Lot Better,” on May 11th.  When asked about the single, Anderson stated, “It was actually Josh Turner‘s idea. He is a fine young man, a great talent and a real asset to modern day country music.  Josh and I have written several songs together and it’s always a pleasure to write with him.”
