John Anderson tribute album features John Prine, Eric Church, Luke Combs and more

Eric Church, Luke Combs, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Brothers Osborne and the late John Prine are among the artists tackling the songs of John Anderson on the just-announced album, "Something Borrowed, Something New: A Tribute to John Anderson."

The album, produced by Dan Auerbach (of The Black Keys) and David Ferguson, will be released August 5 on Auerbach's Easy Eye Sound Label. The 13-track collection also features covers by Brent Cobb, Sierra Ferrell, Sierra Hull, Jamey Johnson, Ashley McBryde, Del McCoury, Nathaniel Rateliff and Gillian Welch & David Rawlings.

Along with the news, Welch & Rawlings' version of Anderson's "I Just Came Here to Count the Memories" was released Wednesday with an accompanying music video.

Anderson — best known for country hits "Straight Tequila Night," "Seminole Wind" and "Swingin'" — previously worked with Auerbach and Ferguson on his 2020 album "Years."

“Listening to everybody do their own takes on the songs shows how the songs really come through," he says in the album's press release. "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.”

Prine's cover of "1959" will be the latest in a small handful of new recordings by the legendary singer-songwriter that have been released since his death in 2020.
