Lynn Anderson "Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man" Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where there’s always good music to be found.  Today’s Single Of The Day harkens back to the decade of the 1970′s.  Though it’s now four decades ago, for many of us, it doesn’t seem that long.

Today’s Single Of The Day is a Lynn Anderson release from 1977.  Lynn is an artist who enjoyed a long run on the country charts, scoring her first Country 40 single in 1967 and not hitting her finale until 1988.  In that span, forty-eight of her singles broke into the 40, with eighteen reaching the top ten and five climbing all the way to number one.  Her biggest hit, “Rose Garden”, also became a top five Pop hit, as well.

Unfortunately, “Wrap Your Love All Around Your Man” was not one of her eighteen top ten hits.  The single, her first offering for 1977, just missed, peaking at twelve.  Released by Columbia in January, the single made a relatively quick ascension into the Country 40, making it’s debut in early February.  It would turn out to be her biggest hit for the year.  The song is a fast-paced Country-Pop piece that I think has a rather infectious sound to it, one that makes me a bit surprised that it didn’t peak a little higher than it did.  I’d call it one of her more underrated pieces.

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
