Rattlesnake Annie is a self-titled studio album by American singer and songwriter Rattlesnake Annie, released in 1987 on the CBS label. It reached #49 in the US country charts. Two singles were released from the album, "Callin' Your Bluff" which reached #79 in the US and #51 in the Canadian country charts, and "Somewhere South of Macon" which also reached #79 in the US country charts. The West German branch of Greenpeace adopted her song, "Goodbye to a River", as their anthem.

There were two other versions released in Europe in 1983 and 1988 on the Czechoslovakian Supraphon label.[1] When she went to Europe she recorded an LP in Czechoslovakia, appeared on East German TV, was voted #1 female country star in Scotland and was filmed by a Swiss/French crew for The Other Side of Nashville, a MGM/UA documentary. By the time she returned to the US, she was a full-blown European country star.[2]
