Lynn Anderson kept a relatively low profile after her smash successes in the 1970s, but 2004's THE BLUEGRASS SESSIONS shows the country-pop chanteuse still capable of making ear-catching music. Much like Dolly Parton, who parlayed her mainstream country success into a well-received string of bluegrass albums in the late '90s and early 2000s, Anderson decided to make an album of roots music. Her sweet voice, with its delicate balance of croon and twang, still has all the gloss of its commercial heyday, but the folksy arrangements, foot-stomping tempos, and fiery banjo and fiddle playing take this set straight back to the mountains.

Anderson recasts some of her own Top Ten hits--"What a Man My Man Is" (which kicks off the set), the bouncy "Ride, Ride, Ride," and a smoothly chugging "That's a No-No" are brought to new life in a flurry of heartfelt picking and singing. Anderson's biggest hit, "Rose Garden," is given a double-time snare, propulsive banjo line, and some fine fiddling. Covers of the Carpenters' "Top of the World" and the Drifters' "Under the Boardwalk" may seem unlikely picks for a bluegrass album, but Anderson successfully combines roots music with a pop-savvy sensibility on these tracks. That combination is very appealing--as one listen through THE BLUEGRASS SESSIONS proves.
