Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Lisa Sutton, daughter of singer Lynn Anderson & music producer Glenn Sutton. Lisa grew up in Nashville, home to her parents and their ‘Countrypolitan sound’ they helped make famous. What’s countrypolitan you ask? Good question. It’s definitely country music but typically with lush string arrangements, an orchestra and a more stylized sound than what country music is known for prior. It’s a sound her Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame father and her mother Lynn made famous with the massive Joe South penned hit “I Never Promised You a Rose Garden.”
We also talk to Lisa about her perhaps lesser known but perhaps more influential grandparents Casey Anderson and Liz Anderson whose roots in country music as songwriters, performers and connectors led them to a fortuitus meeting with the poet of the common man, Merle Haggard. He gave them their start. Of course we talk roses – it’s a theme in Lisa’s life that connects back to her mom’s massive hit, horses, the National Enquirer and how her father’s songs were recorded by everyone from The Louvin Brothers to Etta James. Fans of country music rejoice, we have a winner on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast with Lisa Sutten. Take a listen.
