Liz Anderson discography
The discography of American country singer-songwriter Liz Anderson consists of 12 studio albums and 23 singles. Her early songwriting produced hits for Merle Haggard that brought a recording contract from RCA Victor Records in 1964. Her first charting single was 1966's "Go Now Pay Later," which reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[1] The same year, Anderson collaborated with Bobby Bare and Norma Jean on the duet "The Game of Triangles." The song reached the top five of the Billboard country chart.[2] In 1967, she had her biggest solo hit with "Mama Spank," which also reached the country top five.[3] Anderson was also releasing studio albums for RCA. This included her third release, Liz Anderson Sings (1967), which peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.[4] Anderson's fourth studio effort, Cookin' Up Hits, reached number 18 on the same chart.[5]

Anderson continued having top 40 hit singles on the Billboard country chart through 1968. This included "Tiny Tears" and "Mother, May I." The latter was a duet with her daughter, Lynn Anderson.[6] Anderson recorded several more unsuccessful albums before the release of 1970's Husband Hunting. The album reached number 36 on the country albums survey, her final charting album release.[7] The title track reached number 26 on the Billboard country songs chart, her final top 40 hit.[8] Shortly after its release, she switched to Epic Records and recorded several singles, most notably a country version of "I'll Never Fall in Love Again."[6] Her 1973 Epic release, "Time to Love Again," was her final charting single, reaching number 72 on the country chart.[9] Anderson continued sporadically releasing new studio albums. This included two records of children's music. Her final studio effort was issued in 2004.[10]
