My Take
Lynn Anderson is one of those artists I think of when I picture country music crossing over into the wider pop world. "Rose Garden" wasn't just a country hit for me, it was an international number one that made her name everywhere, and that's a rare feat. What strikes me most is the consistency behind that single moment: five number-one singles and eighteen top-tens on the Billboard country chart is a serious body of work, plus the CMA and American Music Award honors. She passed in 2015, but I'd still rank her among the genre's most significant voices, someone who genuinely widened country's audience.
