A listen back to Anderson's debut release is both enjoyable and refreshing.
"My Famous Friend" was produced by Anderson and John Mannenbach, and recorded by engineer Sean Norton at Falcon Studios. It was mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering by mastering engineer Brian Gardner. My Famous Friend was officially released with a resounding kick-off CD release concert 11/1/97 at the Aladdin Theater to a packed house.

Back Story...

My Famous Friend was more than 5 years in the making. The songs on My Famous Friend were written by Anderson and songwriting partner, Dave Beckett. Anderson and Beckett formed a rare songwriting duo, working together for several years in the early-to-mid-nineties. Beckett was taken from this world early, while working on completing their debut CD. As a performing duo, Anderson and Beckett called themselves, "My Famous Friend", thus the album title.

Lynn considered closing the book on music altogether, but after a nine month hiatus from writing, Anderson wrote, "FIRE!" It was at this point Anderson decided it was upon her to complete the recording and honor the work she and Beckett created.
