When singer Ray Price released the song in 1958 on Columbia Records, it became a #1 country hit, and it launched Anderson’s long and storied career as a songwriter and recording artist.\u003cp\u003e Anderson’s songs have been recorded by performers as varied as Connie Smith, James Brown, Dean Martin, Willie Nelson, Charley Pride, the Louvin Brothers, Elvis Costello, Conway Twitty, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kenny Chesney, and countless others. His multifaceted career has included stints as a disc jockey, sportswriter, and television star. At the same time, he has demonstrated a remarkable ability to bridge eras in his music and collaborate with writers across the country music spectrum, cementing his reputation as a songwriter and recording artist of uncommon impact and distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This book was published as a companion to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s exhibition \u003ci\u003eBill Anderson: As Far as I Can See\u003c\/i\u003e, and it contains a foreword from fellow Grand Ole Opry star Jeannie Seely, along with seventy-five personal photographs and significant images rarely seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eLetter from the CEO \u003cp\u003e Acknowledgements \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Foreword: A Man For All Seasons, by Jeannie Seely \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bill Anderson: As Far As I Can See, by Peter Cooper \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Power of Song \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teenage Dreams \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Glow of City Lights \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"City Lights\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e From a Whisper to a Dream \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bright Lights and Country Music \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Walk Out Backwards\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Right Combination \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Tips of My Fingers\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Still\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lend a Helping Hand \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Enjoyed as Much of This as I Can Stand \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Saginaw, Michigan\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Turning Point \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Bridge to Cross \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Cincinnati, Ohio\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Once a Day\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Three A.M.\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Thrill of Creation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Award-Winning Songs in the 2000s \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Whiskey Lullaby\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"A Lot of Things Different\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Behind the Song with Bill Anderson: \"Give It Away\" \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's All in the Game \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bill Anderson: Still \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e 2021 Board of Officers and Trustees \u003cp\u003e Circle Guard \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681324429592,"sku":"9780915608362","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/bill-anderson-as-far-as-i-can-see-paperback-softback-9780915608362","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
