 This CD was almost titled "family and friends" because it so describes this project. Good friends like my cutting horse buddies, the distinquished actor Barry Corbin and my old compadre radio hall of famer Bob Kingsley - both of whom added their cowboy voice-overs on "Turn The Herd" and made it very special and loads of fun.
Friends like the multi-talented Rollie Stevens who deserves to be a cowboy singing star for his wonderful talent on "The Mexican Angel" duet. Miss Belinda Gail - her duet performance with me on "The Loan" gives it a whole new perspective and a deeper meaning.
Real cowboy Dave Stamey loaned me his beautiful song "Buckskin Horse" which first reminded me of Dale Evan's Buttermilk. but thinking deeper, it speaks to all women who would love to actually be 'cowgirls' and live the life I'm blessed with.
As to the 'family' part, this CD simply wouldn't exist without them. Mom and Dad have been a lifelong and constant inspiration. Mom's dedication to the craft of songwriting and Dad's dedication to creating the 'product' are amazing. Mom Liz wrote 7 of these cuts with Dad Casey being the co-writer on "Turn the Herd'.
My daughter Lisa - who put the whole manufacturing thing together - packaging, pressing and artwork - via her company www.musicservicesultd.com. And my daughter Melissa for her wonderful harmony on "Ride, Ride, Ride". Didn't know she could do that. And to my beloved Mentor who wrote the beautiful "Bandita".
Thank you my love.
Lastly I must thank Mark Moseley whose genious in his Sound Control studio in Nashville put all the pieces (recordings from 5 states) together into a CD I hope and pray you will love - even if you don't wear the boots and hat!! I'm so proud of my family and friends.
Lynn Anderson The 150th Anniversary of the Pony Express
 The original Pony Express was organized 150 years ago in 1860 between the U.S. Postal Service and three American transportation pioneers - William H. Russell, Alexander Majors and William B.Waddell. The Pony Express Riders were all very young and mostly single. When the U.S. Postal Service celebrated the 100-years of the U.S. Mail in 1960, there was a re-enactment ride across the original trail. This ride was 1966 miles between St. Joseph, Mo. (which was the westernmost point that the railroad and the telegraph had reached) and Sacramento, Ca.
Now another 50 years have passed and there are various 150-year celebrations being planned throughout the U.S. This year, the Pony Express re-run is starting in San Francisco by boat to Sacramento - leaving Sacramento June 6 - and will arrive in St. Joseph on June 26 with various activities planned along the route.
Casey Anderson was one of the riders in the 1960 re-run. His ride was #483 West from Pacific House to Sportsman’s Lodge in California - 7 miles of rugged Sierra Nevada Terrain. To commemorate the occasion, he and songwriter wife Liz Anderson wrote the official Pony Express song which the U.S. Postal Service adopted that year as their official song for the celebration. The Postal Service had a traveling display of the 100 years of the U.S. Postal Service. The display went to all state fairs and the song played over display speakers every 20 minutes.
For a limited time, you have an opportunity to obtain a CD of this historic song autographed by Casey Anderson - an original 1960 re-run rider. The price is a $8 incl: postage.
