THE LINER NOTES
​
Released on the heels of 'I'm Alright', 'With Strings' was Chart Records' last Lynn Anderson Hurrah, and the second pickup LP Slim Williamson and Company would produce on her.
​
Produced by Williamson in the Fall of 1971 with a nod to both Glenn Sutton and the Countrypolitan sound he created that was infusing itself to virtually act in the business, 'With Strings' was just that: ten of Lynn's most memorable tracks from her Chart Records masters re-imagined, and re-tooled with the help of A-list session player and arranger, Bill Purcell.
​
With a cue from Sutton, Purcell has taken many of these classic songs and given them a new texture, a new sense of melody and movement. Subtle, tasteful string arrangements woven deftly around Lloyd Green's masterful steel, Slim Williamson's simple, uncomplicated productions, and of course, Lynn Anderson's legendary voice.
​
A rare treat for the serious Lynn Anderson collector.
