"Storytelling in a direct, emotionally accessible way." 　　 　　"Andy brings characters to life in vivid color, against an easy background. Comfort food for my ears..." 　　 　　Like any Southerner, or any worth their salt, Andy Anderson loves a good story. 　　 　　He developed a keen ear early on, listening to The Masters with his mom and dad. Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, and Merle Haggard called out to the working men and women living in the grit and glow, happiness and hardships. Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole sang about the lost and founds and never-hads of life and love. In time, contemporary icons like Harry Chapin, James Taylor, John Prine, John Fahey, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and Bob Dylan. 　　 　　Others' stories tell so much about us. We love them. 　　 　　"Andy's well-crafted songs shine like gems as they tug at your heart. The poise with which he addresses the audience, his formidable guitar chops, and his pleasant voice, all combine to assure the listener that their ears are in good care. Andy Anderson is definitely his own man as a singer-songwriter, but listening to him I was reminded of the late, great Steve Goodman in as much as this level of skill is rare." 　　 　　"Caution....Andy's songs will draw you in...and cut you up...."
