Born in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1947, Lynn Anderson learned how to be a country music superstar from her mother, Liz. After winning more than 700 trophies in horse shows when she was a tot (she's still an avid rider), Lynn went on to become one of country music's most popular singers of the 1970s—scoring several #1 hits and landing a bunch more in the top ten throughout the decade. Her 1970 country hit "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden" was her most popular—even making its way onto the pop charts, where it climbed all the way to #3. In 2000, the governor of Tennessee officially named June 15th "Lynn Anderson Day," and in three of the state's counties (and one in Kentucky), October 3rd has been set aside as a special day to honor Lynn Anderson's hair. After hitting a rough patch in the mid-2000s (she was arrested for several DUIs and for shoplifting a Harry Potter DVD), Lynn seems to be back on track, spending the past several years performing and winning awards.

The notes and photos from the back of her 1967 debut album are included below.
