Stay There 'Til I Get There is
Lynn Anderson's first album for Columbia Records following a successful stint on the independent Chart label. Since
Anderson's crossover smash "Rose Garden" was released several months later,
Stay There 'Til I Get There sounds just like one of her Chart albums, down to the banjo picking on the hit title track. The one departure from her earlier records is the poverty of compositions by
Anderson's mother,
Liz Anderson. Producer
Glenn Sutton takes her place to an extent, but
Anderson also covers the underrated
Sonny James song "True Love's a Blessing" and
Bobbie Gentry's hit "Fancy." "Rose Garden" gave
Anderson's sound a strong push toward pop music, so those who enjoy her early straight country recordings will also enjoy this first album for Columbia.
