GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

As usual, mostly up to your standards. Just needs a little more polish and it should be good to go.

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Just a few issues that should be easily fixed.

As usual, watch for overlinking. You link Joe South and a couple other terms multiple times. In general, only link words the first time they appear.
Also watch for overuse of commas. I removed a few.
Early Life: You used "Anderson" a lot without qualifying which one since both her and her mom are mentioned.
1970-1980: "Anderson found Joe South's version of Rose Garden" -- when and where?
"Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" album -- did this album chart any singles? Was it reviewed? This seems to be the only Columbia album that you didn't mention much about.
"During this period Anderson did not release full-length albums, but did record a single for MCA Records." -- What was the single called, and did it chart?
Musical Styles - maybe add a little more information about her singing voice? That seems to be the only stylistic aspect not touched on.
Musical Styles - maybe add a little more information about her singing voice? That seems to be the only stylistic aspect not touched on.

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

What makes the Flower Power website a reliable source? Also, it gives me a "this site is not secure" warning when I open it. This was the only site that did not seem to be a reliable source. Consider using another source here.
Citation 92 (Findagrave.com) is an incomplete footnote. This was the only one I spotted.
The album liner notes are fine as references, but I would recommend adding the catalog number of the album (see how I did it on Steve Wariner or Eddy Raven as examples).
Musical Styles - maybe add a little more information about her singing voice? That seems to be the only stylistic aspect not touched on.

It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
As usual I'm not expecting any stability issues on a country music article.
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
Again, just a few minor details needing cleanup and this should pass.

Okay, it looks like you've addressed all the major issues. I just did one last minor cleanup, and I think this is now passed as a GA. Once again, thanks for your work! Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
