Many of you have probably never heard of Anders Osborne, and if I had to guess, he probably likes it that way. He's written the number-one hit "Watchin the Wind Blow By" for Tim McGraw, two Grammy-winning songs for Keb Mo, as well as songs for Brad Paisley, Tab Benoit, Jonny Lang, and Jimmy Thackery. His songs have been performed live by many other artists, including "Lucky One" which Edwin McCain introduces by saying "There's a guy named Anders Osborne, and I feel like he wrote my life."
A few years ago, when I first heard Osborne's CD "Coming Down," two songs stood out for me - "Summertime in New Orleans" and "Lucky One," which anyone can relate to while going through life's trials and tribulations. In addition to featuring "Lucky One" by Anders Osborne, you can also check out the video, below, of Edwin McCain introducing and performing "Lucky One."
Anders' long-awaited, new CD "American Patchwork" will be released April 27th on Alligator Records, and features Pepper Keenan (of C.O.C. and DOWN) on Guitar,
Stanton Moore on Drums, and Robert Walters on Keyboards. After a two-week run of shows in New Orleans during Jazz Fest, Anders, Robert Walter, and Stanton Moore launch a six week double-bill tour featuring both Osborne's band and the Stanton Moore Trio.
Stay tuned as Festival of Songs will feature a track from "American Patchwork" to kick-off the release on April 27th!
