Anders Osborne
Anders Osborne (born May 4, 1966) is an American singer-songwriter. He tours solo and with a band, and often plays in North Mississippi Osborne (N.M.O), a group formed by Osborne and North Mississippi Allstars.[dead link]
Anders Osborne was born on May 4, 1966.
As a teen, Osborne started playing guitar and listening to Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, and Joni Mitchell records. He was influenced by the vocal styles of Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Lowell George, Robert Johnson and recordings of African drumming. He considered blues music to be the connection between other musical genres. He began playing in Open D tuning, which he discovered after listening to Joni Mitchell's Blue.[failed verification]
Osborne and his band toured the U.S. during these years[when?] and in 1995, he was signed to Okeh Records. He released Which Way to Here, an album that dealt with spirituality and tolerance. The record became Osborne's first commercial break with two top-five singles "Favorite Son" and "Pleasin' You." Both were featured in several Hollywood movies, and the latter was later recorded by Jonny Lang.
Shanachie Entertainment signed Osborne in 1998. In 1999, he released his fourth album, Living Room, a personal record that signified some new directions in Osborne's music after the breakup with his longtime accompanist Theresa Andersson, drug use, and a family death. This album also features guest appearances by Keb' Mo', Kirk Joseph and Tommy Malone.
Besides writing for his own album, Osborne has had a number of his songs recorded by other artists. Keb' Mo's 1999 Grammy Award winning album Slow Down featured two songs co-written with Osborne.
After his Shanachie recordings, Osborne worked as a professional songwriter in New Orleans and then in Nashville, first for PolyGram and then its successor Universal Music. His song, "Watch the Wind Blow By," was recorded by the country musician Tim McGraw, hitting No. 1 on the country charts for two weeks and selling over three million albums.
He has since co-written with Tab Benoit, Mike Zito and Johnny Sansone, for whom he has also served as producer.
