Country singer Lynn Anderson’s only major album success came with Rose Garden, boosted by her catchy trademark hit single, which reached No.3 on both sides of the Atlantic. (US:19 UK:45)
“A wonderful album. Such a sweet voice and great production with the classic title track. I'm not sure if I like the way she sings Sunday Morning Coming Down so happily with that smiling face, but it sure adds another dimension to the song.”
“From its breathless opening rush of pile-driver strings, Lynn Anderson's signature hit Rose Garden announces itself to be every bit as pop as it is country. Consequently it stands as a supreme example of the countrypolitan sound, a crossover smash of all pounding country rhythms, whizzing steel guitar, soaring backing vocals and dramatic strings.”
“Back in the early '70s, I had the Rose Garden LP and nearly wore it out. I really enjoyed the soaring vocals and strings that were seamlessly melded together. Her style was indeed unique during this period. Rose Garden was a cover written by Joe South.”
“This album is mainly a collection of country and pop classics from the late 1960s and early 1970s but Anderson's interpretations never fail to please. Backed by a lush, string-driven country pop sound, she delivers memorable and engaging covers of hits.”
“Lynn Anderson became the Nashville Sound girl - country cosmopolitan at its best. Rose Garden is the epitome of the Lynn Anderson sound. This gives the listener an opportunity to hear music that is almost forgotten today. Crisp, clear and subtle, that was Lynn Anderson all the way.”
