**“Seminole Wind” – John Anderson (1992)** Released in 1992, “Seminole Wind” is one of John Anderson’s most memorable and powerful songs. Written by Anderson himself, the song pays tribute to Florida’s natural beauty and the Seminole people while lamenting the destruction of the Everglades through human development and environmental exploitation. The song was the title track of Anderson’s highly successful comeback album *Seminole Wind*. It reached **No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart** and helped reestablish Anderson as one of country music’s leading traditionalists. With its haunting melody, evocative lyrics, and Anderson’s distinctive voice, “Seminole Wind” stands out as a rare country hit addressing environmental conservation and the loss of Native American heritage. It remains one of his most enduring recordings.
