John Anderson Hard Time When It Comes To You
The song “When It Comes To You” by John Anderson was first released in 1991. The lyrics are similar to the popular David Guetta version but the two versions are very different. The Dire Straits version is a sad song about a failing marriage. It is told from the point of view of the husband and is accompanied by a beautiful video. The movie is directed by Steve Boyle and was released in 2008.
Upon deciding to go solo, Anderson enlisted the help of producer Gene Chrisman. Auerbach organized writing sessions with Anderson and listened to his work tapes. He recognized the quality of the songs and offered to produce the album with Gene Chrisman, Dave Roe, Russ Pahl, Billy Sanford, and Steve Allen. The result was the Years album. The album sold well, spawning numerous singles and the band was renamed as The John Anderson Band.
The late ’70s were relatively quiet for Anderson, but his career took off in the ’80s when he charted modestly with “Wild and Blue” and “Swingin’.” The album went on to achieve No. 1 status with the title track “You’re Nearly Nothing” and he scored three more No. 1s with ‘Wild and Blue’ and ‘Black Sheep’. In 1992, Anderson’s comeback was major, spawning his first No. 1 single in nine years. The ’92 album would continue to sell well into the 2000s, giving him more country singles than any of his peers.
The second album, “You’re Gonna Have a Hard Time,” was released in 1991. The release came two years after the “Swingin'” single. The album was a critical and commercial success, and Anderson’s popularity grew as a result. It helped the singer chart six No. 1 albums.
