John Anderson
scheduled to heat up
Casino one more time
The story of John Anderson and his platinum-plus al
bum, Seminole Wind, is the story of the country music
"comeback" of the decade. It's the true-to-life, yet larger-
than-life, saga of one
of the most dramatic
career turn-arounds
of the 1990's. It's
the story of just re
ward for a singer
who originally took
country music by
storm. His memo
rable hits from that
musical era included
"Wild and Blue",
"I'm Just An Old
Chunk Of Coal," "1959," " I Just Came Home To Count
The Memories," "Black Sheep" and "Swingin."
"Swingin" was not only the Country Music Association's
1983 Song of the Year. More recently it was cited by the
A.M.O.A. as one of its all-time top-forty jukebox hits
right up there with "Hey Jude" and other perennial favor
ites by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Patsy Cline,
George Jones, and The Rolling Stones.
"Straight Tequila Night," the lead-off single from Semi
nole Wind (Anderson's debut album for BNA Entertain
ment), went to number one across the board on every coun
try chart. It was his first bonafide chart-topper since "Black
Sheep" in 1983. "When It Comes To You," the second
single, reached number two, while "Seminole Winds," the
heartfelt title tune soared to number one when released later
1992. Jay Orr, a noted music writer for the Nashville Ban
ner, was one of several critics to list Seminole Wind in a
top-ten album round-up for 1992.
Those of us who have followed the vicissitudes of
Anderson's recording career aren't particularly surprised
at his "rediscovery" in the wake of Seminole Wind. Those
hits which showcased Anderson's arresting, instantly rec
ognizable vocal style; a provocative mixture of honky tonk
fervor, rockabillyoutlaw gusto, fiercely determined 17-year
old who hit Nashville running in 1972.
Awards include a Grammy Award in 1996 for Amazing
Grace: A Country Salute To Gospel. In 1994 the Academy
of Country Music honored him with their Career Achieve
ment Award. The same year he received the Country Mu
sic Association Album of the Year for Common Threads:
The Songs of the Eagles. "Swingin" won the CMA Single
of the Year in 1983. He has also received numerous nomi
nations for Grammies, ACM's and CMAs and has several
gold and platinum album certifications.

Tribe donates to establish Native art display
The Portland Art Museum will now be able to dis
play what is considered to be one of the finest collec
tions of Native American art in the country thanks to
a generous donation from the Grand Ronde Tribe.
The Elizabeth Cole Butler collection has been one
that the museum has wanted to continuously showcase,
but hasn't been able to do so, due to lack of space. This
donation, from the Spirit Mountain Community Fund
of $100,000 will allow the museum to expand its ex
hibit space and provide educational opportunities to
school children. Elizabeth Cole Butler has been col
lecting Native art for many years and resides in the Eu
gene area.
