Osborne fans were anticipating the release of their Live at the Ryman album.
The guys feel there’s just something special about playing at the famed venue.
This
room, every time we play here, there’s just a special experience, a special
memory every time, and it’s something that we don’t want to take for granted,” says the duo’s TJ Osborne.
“And it’s cool that we had a three-night stint here and we were able to
record that and have that out, especially with all the history that’s happened
in this room. I just think of all the people that have been in these seats over
the many years that this place has been here, and the people have been on that
stage, and it’s right in our backyard now that we are Nashvillians. This place
never loses its charm and its luster, and I hope it never does for me. It’s
always a special, special spot.”
The
album features the band’s Platinum-certified hits such as “Stay A Little
Longer” and “It Ain’t My Fault,” as well as fan favorites
like “Weed, Whiskey And Willie” and “Love The Lonely Out Of
You.” Special album packages including unique merch items will be
available at www.brothersosborne.com and members of The Family fan club will
receive exclusive access to the album starting October 10th.
Transcript: Brothers Osborne (recording at The Ryman) OC: …special spot. :38
“The
fact that we recorded at the Ryman, it really, it’s incredible in a lot of
ways. This room, every time we play here, there’s just a special experience, a
special memory every time and it’s something that we don’t want to take for
granted. And it’s cool that we had a three-night stint here and we were able to
record that and have that out, especially with all the history that’s happened
in this room. I just think of all the people that have been in these seats over
the many years that this place has been here, and the people have been on that
stage, and it’s right in our backyard now that we are Nashvillians. This place
never loses its charm and its luster, and I hope it never does for me. It’s
always a special, special spot.”
The
Maryland Natives reunited with Chris Stapleton on tour Thursday (October
3rd).
The
guys are the reigning CMA Vocal Duo of the Year (for three consecutive
years) and are once again nominated in the category. They also are nominated
for Single and Music Video of the Year with Dierks Bentley for “Burning Man”
and Musical Event of the Year with Maren Morris on “All My Favorite People.”
The 53rd CMA Music Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena
November 13th at 8pm ET on ABC.
CONNECT with Brothers
Osborne:
Two
sons from a working-class family, John and TJ Osborne grew up in a small,
Maryland water town writing and playing songs for friends and family in their
father’s shed. John moved to Nashville first to play in other bands and two
years later, TJ joined him. It was then they formed Brothers Osborne as a
twang-and-crunch duo that blends equal parts country and rock into one of the
freshest, most identifiable sounds to come out of Nashville in recent years.
The
singer/songwriter siblings recently won CMA “Vocal Duo of the Year” for the third
year in a row in addition to “Music Video of the Year” for their Top 10,
GRAMMY-nominated single “It Ain’t My Fault.” Brothers Osborne’s
debut album PAWN SHOP was released January 2016 and was recently certified Gold
by the RIAA. PAWN SHOP features three GRAMMY-nominated tracks including “It
Ain’t My Fault”, the Platinum Certified No.1 smash hit “Stay A Little
Longer” as well as Top 25 hit “21 Summer.”
Their
first SELF-TITLED EP (EMI Records Nashvill) dropped on September 9, 2014
peaking at No.23 on Top Country Albums
It
included a demo of "Stay a Little Longer", co-written by Shane
McAnally and first featured on this EP, but was consequently recorded with Jay
Joyce for the single release. The song peaked at No. 4 on Hot Country
Songs & No.2 on Country Airplay Chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA on
Dec 7, 2015 (US total sales 607,000 as of November 2016) and Platinum on Nov 8,
2016 for 1-million Digital units.
The
Osborne siblings strummed their first chords during those jam sessions. From
the very start, TJ Osborne was the brother with the voice. He sang in a thick,
low baritone, crooning like Johnny Cash long before he was even old enough to
drive. Older brother John, on the other hand, was the family’s guitar shredder,
his fingers capable of down-home bluegrass licks, arena-worthy rock riffs,
country twang, and everything in between. Combined, the two Osbornes could play
everything from traditional country music to rock & roll, creating a broad,
full-bodied sound that would eventually fill the 11 songs on their major-label
debut, Pawn Shop.
Like
its title suggests, PAWN SHOP (released Jan 15, 2016) offered a little
bit of everything. The album peaked and arrived at No.3 on the Billboard’s
Top Country Albums album and No. 17 on the all-genre Billboard 200,
selling 21,000 copies in its debut week.
The album was certified Gold on November 16, 2017. It had shifted 234,300
copies in the US as of July 2019.
There’s
bluesy slide guitar, country duets, southern rock solos, harmonies, and plenty
of groove. The hooks are big, the guitars are loud, and the songs — every last
one of them co-written by the Osbornes, who reached out to award-winning
songwriters like Shane McAnally and Ross Copperman for help — introduce a duo
whose music bridges the gap between the mainstream and the alternative world.
Some songs were written at home in Nashville, while others came together on the
road, where the guys spent several years headlining their own club shows,
touring the country with Darius Rucker, and playing some of the biggest arenas
in America with fellow rule-breaker Eric Church.
“Most
duos are built on singing,” says TJ. “But John is an incredible guitar player,
and this band is built on me singing and John playing guitar. It gives us two
parallels that work nicely together.”
“It’s
like an old-school rock approach,” added John, who cites classic bands like
Aerosmith and the Allman Brothers as influences on the duo’s dynamic. “Groups
like that always had the lead singer as well as the sideman guitar player.
That’s what we’re going for, too. We’re carving our own path in country music.
Released
on April 20, 2018 the 10-track PORT SAINT JOE was described as album
made by the sea and intrinsically ‘of’ the sea. The album made a bow at No. 2
on Top Country Albums and No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200, selling
19,000 copies (22,000 album-equivalent units) in its first week. As of October 2019 it had sold 90,600 copies in the United States
The
album opened with a Jimmy Buffett style feel as waves roll in to the shore and
a guitar gently picks in the background. What follows were 10 tracks that are
rich in authenticity yet as diverse as you could possibly get on one recording,
but all tied together seamlessly by TJ’s rich vocals, although as good a singer
as TJ is, ‘Port Saint Joe’ is really John’s album as he highlights his skill,
diversity and extraordinary ability to speak through the notes, chords and
solos that he plays.
After
the waves on opener ‘Slow Your Roll’ subside the music takes over
and what we find is a funky, laid back song about chilling out and taking it
easy. The opening line of the whole album is, ‘Take a little break from the
rat-race,” which sets the tone for what is to come. John’s guitar, just like on
many tracks on the album, is restrained:
emotional yet succinct, nuanced yet expressive. And this is just the
start of the journey!
The Single: "Shoot Me
Straight" , the rollicking first
single off Port Saint Joe, captured the
brothers' gritty rock style and included a three-minute guitar solo. The song
focuses on a breakup. "Make it burn the whole way down / Lay my
six-foot four-inch a-- out on the ground," TJ Osborne sings with
a little bit of begging for mercy and a lot of cocky swagger. "Yeah, tomorrow
I'll have a hard hangover and one hell of a heartache / So pour it on like
a shot of whiskey / And shoot me straight."
The Songs: All 10 songs on Port Saint Joe were written or
co-written by the John and TJ Osborne; their co-writers include Lee Thomas
Miller, Kendall Marvel, Barry Dean, Shane McAnally and Troy Verges.Ranging from
a traditional country waltz (“Tequila Again”) to Muscle Shoals-inspired soul
grooves (“A Little Bit Trouble"), the songs on Port
Saint Joe take on the broad personality of the duo and play out like
a live album, with imperfections and little editing.
“A lot of
the takes you hear were live takes,” John Osborne told AP News.
“We’re not going in and overdubbing anything.” While a rock-inspired
tinge comes through on many of the songs on Port
Saint Joe, Brothers Osborne said they hearken back to their country roots
more often than not: “I am not saying we’re a throwback country band by any
stretch, but we are still keeping in tradition,” Osborne adds. “It’s easy
to let yourself veer away from that because, monetarily, it might make more
sense to try do something that is more pop or more mainstream. We’re just
adhering to what we do naturally and what we think is authentic.”
