Anderson released A Place in the Country, which was also produced by Johnson. The record was also released in the United Kingdom with a different track list. Four singles were spawned from the album that became minor country hits between 1984 and 1987. 1990–present: New artistic directions Beginning in the early 1990s, Anderson focused more on songwriting. However, he continued recording his own music. Anderson's first studio release of the decade was 1992's Country Music Heaven, issued on Curb Records. It was a collection of gospel songs that was inspired by his grandfather, a Methodist preacher. The album's title track was issued as a single, but did not chart in any Billboard music publications. The single was reviewed by Billboard magazine in 1992 where it received comparisons to music by Garth Brooks. In 1998, Anderson was signed to Warner Bros.
