John Anderson is a country powerhouse. None of the new country nowadays touches his talent.

I love country music like this. Todays country isnt country

[@mikeo857]

I hate what has happened to country

[@turdferguson2982]

There's still good music being made. Never gonna be another Townes Van Zandt or John Prine but there's a Zach Bryan, Colter Wall, Sturgill Simpson, Mason Jennings, Todd Snider, etc... Defeatism and nostalgia is nothing but something to cry about. Open your teary eyes and stop crying about it. You probably weren't that cool back then either. When you say "they don't make nothing good anymore", you should include yourself in that and add that you never did.

[@828Crosstrekadv]

It’s funny because when I was in high school in the early 90’s my dad & grandpa was saying this ain’t country. Compared to today it is straight up country. It don’t get no more country

Picture this eating supper in a smaller size BBQ restaurant in Joplin, Mo. One weekend. It had a dance floor, we noticed a band setting up to play, as we drank another Bud, no cover change. As the band warmed up in walks the man, John Anderson and they played, he sang , Straight Tequila Night, it was number one on the country charts that week, you bet my wife and I danced to it , right in front of John, i could have and should have shook his hand, no shit. I told my wife something like this will never happen again. Thanks for the memories, John

We went and saw John perform years later at Buffalo Run casino, Miami, Okla. Still great. Love to see him again, sometime soon, we are not getting any younger. Lol.

1992 John Anderson made a huge comeback with this song and the Seminole Wind album, I remember like it was yesterday!

[@kenperk9854]

First time I heard it was driving to work at the wonderful time of 3:30 in the morning. DJ said here's a new one from John Anderson. I kinda laughed thinking back to "Swangin'" and thinking what this time. The song came on and within 5 seconds I was like.... WHOA WHOA, what is THIS? Did some checking at Record Bar and found out I had completely whiffed on Seminole Wind. Bought the CD on sight.

[@highnrising]

So do I. I think in later years, the title song, "Seminole Wind" became the defining, signature song of Anderson's career, but back then, "Straight Tequila Night" was the big hit.

By the start of the 1990's, John Anderson was considered a has been, who hadn't had a #1 country hit since the early 1980's with "Black Sheep." When I first heard this country classic on the radio in December 1991, I nodded my head and said to myself "this is definitely going to be a#1 Billboard country smash for John Anderson, while pointed to the radio dial. "Straight Tequila Night" indeed went #1 for John Anderson in March of 1992 and ended up with three chart toppers that year, plus two more afterwards; one in 1993 "Money In The Bank" and "I've Got It Made" in March 1994. John Anderson is now in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
