A tonally similar follow-up to Bill Anderson’s 1963 megahit “Still,” “8 X 10” is a sweetly-intoned tribute to a long-lost love. “I wish I could just be the glass in that frame,” Anderson says at one point in the song, alluding to the frame’s closeness to an image of his former flame. The song landed at No. 2 on Billboard’s country chart.
Conventional wisdom suggests that nothing good ever happens after 2 AM, and this dark tune takes that idea to its logical extreme. Bill Anderson sings from the perspective of a heartbroken man, wandering the streets at 3 AM – ostensibly looking for a drink, but also wallowing in his loneliness. Despite the grim turn this song takes in its last vers...
While Bill Anderson has typically played the role of the heartbroken victim in his songs, this single found him taking up the mantle of the badly-behaved partner – using his silky whisper to intone familiar untruths instead of charming declarations of love. The track, written by storied country songwriter Glenn Martin, reached No. 6 on Billboard’s ...
This confusingly calypso-tinged song contains some impressive depth within its lyrics. It describes all the push and pull of a relationship in its final days, the necessary and yet impossible compromise between malevolence and affection. “Yet we couldn’t call it hate, because there’s no way to hate someone you’ve loved so much before,” Anderson sin...
Country’s duet craze, which lasted from the late 1960s through the early 1970s, often coincided with the genre’s televised affiliates. Bill Anderson was no exception, having hosted a program called The Bill Anderson Showfor nearly a decade during that period; such programs almost always had a “girl singer” attached to their male leads, and in Ander...
This track, written by Bill Anderson’s duet and TV partner Jan Howard, expresses an evergreen sentiment about inconstant romance. With a jangling piano in the background and sturdy vocal support, Anderson achieves both a striking vocal sound and pleasantly casual production (made more so by the piped-in crowd noise).
Bill Anderson first broached the recitative style that would become his signature on this single, essentially an elaboration on the “humble folks living through hard times” themes of “Po’ Folks” – the hook, as it were, comes courtesy of the background singers, who croon various hymns in between Anderson’s storytelling. The track, the first on which...
Bill Anderson took a more uptempo tack on this song, which became his third No. 1 song on the Billboard country charts. Its subject isn’t quite as steamy as the title suggests – instead, the fever Anderson wrote and sang about was to wander the “open plains” and (as is so often the case in Anderson’s compositions) to find a way to avoid thinking ab...
This No. 1 country song capped Bill Anderson’s remarkable run through the late 1960s and early 1970s, in which he had 13 straight solo singles reach the top ten of Billboard’s country chart. “World” mines Anderson songs of an earlier vintage, but it’s the rare Anderson hit that he didn’t write himself. In this case, he revived a little-known 1950s ...
One of Bill Anderson’s earliest songs spoke to some of country music’s most persistent concerns – namely, authenticity, and what it takes to be really, truly country. It wasn’t enormously successful when it was initially released, but David Allen Coe recruited Anderson to revive it with a funky 1980 duet that introduced it to a whole new generation...
