Anders Osborne - "Standing With Angels"



Today marks the release of "American Patchwork," the long-awaited release from Anders Osborne on Alligator Records. His best work yet, American Patchwork features Pepper Keenan (of Down and Corrosion Of Conformity) on guitar, Stanton Moore on drums, and Robert Walter on keys.

The album kicks off with the B3 and guitar-driven "On the Road to Charlie Parker" backed by the bold rhythms of Stanton Moore. From there, Osborne lays out a mix of emotions delivered with influences of rock, country, soul, and even a reggae-infused "Got Your Heart". Our featured song, the Springsteen-esque "Standing With Angels" deals with the loss of a loved one as they enter Heaven to watch down on others left behind.

There are many aspects to "American Patchwork," but the guitar work is simply phenomenal. Anders is already known for his amazing guitar playing, but add Pepper Keenan to the mix and you're left with nothing short of a masterpiece.

With the release of American Patchwork, Osborne will hit the road hard. After playing three times at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (and many more area appearances during the two-week festival), Anders Osborne will then start a six-week tour of the U.S. on a double bill with The Stanton Moore Trio, followed by further touring with his own band.
