Anders Osborne is an amazing musician and songwriter, and on his new album American Patchwork Osborne’s talent simply shines. You may know this Grammy-award winner from his contributions on Keb Mo’s Grammy-winning blues album “Slow Down” or from Tim McGraw’s #1 mega hit, “Watch the Wind Blow By” or you may know him for his New Orleans roots fusion and powerful blues slide guitar. American Patchwork is a heartfelt, emotional journey that is raw yet tinged with hope and conveys a range of styles from loud thrashing rockers to tender ballads. Stanton Moore (Galactic) and Pepper Keenan (Corrosion of Conformity) make guest appearances on the album, and standout tracks include the New Orleans shuffle “Echoes of My Sins”, “Standing with the Angels” – the hauntingly beautiful memorial about the passing of a friend, and the devastatingly poignant “On the Road to Charlie Parker” which warns of heroin’s destruction of artistic genius. All in all, American Patchwork it is a rich and rewarding album from one the greatest living American guitarists and songwriters around. – Written by JFelton
