John Anderson Tribute Album to Feature John Prine, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Sturgill Simpson, and More

The Apopka, Florida-born, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer John Anderson is getting a well-deserved tribute treatment. Something Borrowed, Something New: A Tribute to John Anderson is set for an August 5th street date on the Easy Eye Sound label.

Produced by Dan Auerbach and David Ferguson, the collection of classics include contributions from Brothers Osborne, Eric Church, Del McCoury, Tyler Childers, Brent Cobb, Luke Combs, Sierra Ferrell, Sierra Hull, Jamey Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Nathaniel Rateliff, Sturgill Simpson, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, and the late John Prine.

Anderson said in a statement, “Listening to everybody do their own takes on the songs shows how the songs really come through. And I thought to myself, ‘You might have been young and foolish back then, but you sure did pick some good songs.’ It’s very gratifying to know that some things really do not change, and a great country song remains a great country song. Any one person on the record would be a real tribute, but all of them together? It’s a pretty big deal for me personally.”

Auerbach adds, “We weren’t trying to piddle around and make the normal tribute record. It had to be the best singers with the best songs and the best arrangements, and they had to come into the studio. This wasn’t like, ‘Mail me the song, and we’ll put it together.’ I think it makes this record unique. I don’t think most tribute records are done like this. I think that’s why it sounds like a cohesive album. It feels like an amazing mix tape.”

Anderson’s 2020 album Years was also released via the Easy Eye Sound label. Something Borrowed… was Auerbach’s idea born from artists coming into the studio during the recording of Years praising his legendary catalog.
