Keith Anderson Debut Certified Gold

Nashville, TN (Arista Records) - Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll, the Arista Nashville debut by Keith Anderson, has been certified gold by the RIAA. The album contains the Top 10 hits "Pickin' Wildflowers" and "Every Time I Hear Your Name" as well as the current single, "Podunk."

Anderson burst onto the scene last year and both Billboard and Radio & Records ranked him as country music's No 1 new male artist - and top new solo artist - of 2005. Ten of the disc's 11 tracks were produced by Jeffrey Steele with the title track being produced by John Rich. Anderson co-wrote each of the 11 tracks.

In addition to his musical talents, Anderson has also caught the eye of mainstream media outlets like People magazine who named him one of their "50 Hottest Bachelors" and Men's Fitness who dubbed him their "Ultimate Country Star." He has also been featured in Muscle & Fitness magazine as well as on NBC's "Today," "Inside Edition," "Access Hollywood," GAC, CMT and a primetime Dr. Phil special.

The Miami , OK , native and OSU honors graduate was most recently honored by the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame with their Rising Star Award. He will return to Miami mid-November for Keith Anderson Day, a homecoming celebration in his honor.
