Cowboy's Sweetheart
''Cowboy's Sweetheart'' is the name of a studio album, released by country singer Lynn Anderson in 1992. Anderson had recently finished a long and lucrative career in the country music business, releasing and promoting albums and singles for the public. She finished her last album in 1988 with '' What She Does Best,'' and a final single from that album titled, "How Many Hearts". This was her first album in four years and contains all new material.
