Tony Anderson - Heartland

Heartland is the second part of "One Perfect Sunset," which is the first offering from my forthcoming album.
Earlier this summer I captured field recordings of nature, wildlife and birds from the place I was raised in rural Nebraska and then wove them throughout the music. The recordings were taken all over eastern Nebraska while I was watching and photographing some of the most gorgeous midwest sunsets I've ever seen.
The album, Niobrara, is an homage to my upbringing in Nebraska in the 1990s and will be fully released in the Fall of 2024. Until then, sit back, relax and enjoy monthly releases from me. It's going to be a fun and beautiful ride. I cannot wait for you to hear what I've been writing the last few years.
Oh, and I figured an 8 minute song is a lot to ask of listeners these days even though I consider anything under 10 minutes short. If you're interested in hearing both songs together, I included the full 8 minute extended version on the release as a 3rd track.

Music like this makes me think of when Jesus returns - wiping away all tears, making all things new, joy forever and ever. Thank you for making music that connects so well with truth, beauty, and the eternal longings of our souls.

[@ttrippa1295]

I first encountered your music a little over a year ago. My grandmother had a stroke and died shortly after. It was right around the time of her death when I found your album, heart of man. Your music struck such a deep chord, I believe it was "In The distance" that ripped the emotions out of my heart and into expression through my tears. Thank you Tony! It helped me through that tough time.

[@joeyisho5370]

Tony. I wish I could thank you in person for this piece of Art you have shared with all of us. I'm going through the hardest period of my life, and I often come back to your art to make it through the days. Whether its happy moments, tears, or deep feelings of sadness these pieces help me get through. Thank you for this from the bottom of my heart.

[@VikaFiji]

Thank you, dear Tony! Your music has been on repeat for months now! Very much looking forward to a new album! Can't wait!!🤩💜🙏

Tony Anderson taught me how to live, through his music

[@victorbendel4488]

It’s remindful, like those summers in high school, of times that have past or even like a montage of the past actions in a movie

[@aaronmusic1745]

I've never been to Nebraska or any lush fields in the US but something tells me this music is what they feel like

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

The ultimate compliment!

Incredible piece of music, yet again! Something so calming, so beautiful in your music. You and Philter, both are the kind of music I just love to stop and listen, no matter if it's a morning or night, if im inside or outside, such a calming effect and brings back all sorts of memories

[@Rochalita]

I hear red-winged blackbirds, dickcissels, yellowthroats, and a bobwhite there towards the end. Very peaceful. And I love long pieces of music so I'm glad you made that an option.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

You heard the bobwhite!!! My grandmother would always call to them from her front porch and they’d answer her. I didn’t realize until recently they’re a species of quail. I took these recordings near her home in July. I’ll look up the other birds today to discover which is which. How did you recognize these birds? Are you from the area?

[@Rochalita]

​@@TonyAndersonMusic That's so cool that they would answer your grandmother! I’m a big nature nerd and love birds especially. The Merlin Bird ID app has helped me learn to identify birds better by their calls. You can use it to listen for birds when they’re singing around you, and it will tell you which ones it hears. It’s pretty awesome and super easy to use (and also free). I live in Kentucky and all four of those birds are found here, too-the red-winged blackbird and bobwhite I knew by heart, and the app helped me out with the dickcissel and yellowthroat.

[@TonyAndersonMusic]

@@Rochalitagoing to download it today! Thanks for the recommendation. Whereabouts in Ky? I lived in Lexington for 9 years and loved it.

[@Rochalita]

@@TonyAndersonMusic I’m in Jessamine County and love it here, too. We never met but I used to go to Southland 10+ years ago, which is where I became aware of you and your music. Been listening ever since and I’m always excited to hear when you’re coming out with something new!
