USA Today
Fiery anthems and tumultuous confessional songs punctuated with glorious, raw guitar.

Relix
Deep blues guitar, rugged, soulful singing, superb hard-hitting songs from scorched-earth, funky hard rock to sweet and tender ballads. A phenomenal blend of reflective self-awareness, and rambunctious spirit and muscle.

New Orleans Times-Picayune
Rich and glorious …Osborne wields a guitar with the precision of a surgeon and the ardor of a lover. Possessing a voice that rises out of the darkness to the light of a soulful, tremulous wail, he is a consummate shaman, bending successive moments to suit his majestic purposes. Osborne seeks an epic quality to much of his music, crafting layer upon layer of hugely scaled soundscapes. Never lazily derivative, every slashing guitar figure, every cry of a lyric, seems to come from an authentic place.

San Francisco Chronicle
New Orleans’ Anders Osborne is a fearsome triple threat. He’s a gut-wrenching guitarist, a riveting singer and a rootsy, blues-drenched songwriter.

Guitar Player
Osborne’s palette ranges from bold and beautiful to demonically overdriven. He’s an intense roots rock player and he’s especially wicked when he whips out a slide. His greatest attribute is his ability to conjure intimate feelings from the darkest depths and the highest heights of his soul and share them through song via guitar and vocals.

OffBeat
Anders Osborne continues to grow before our eyes. He has transcended from being a good artist capable of great things to a great artist capable of creating a masterpiece. His voice is so emotionally intense it feels like an explosion. He writes with remarkable eloquence. This is the living definition of great art.

Blurt
Great art is not afraid to say something and take big risks. And on each work he does, he grows as an artist. Anders Osborne follows his vision, inspires us with his story and dazzles us with his craft.

Paste
Mind-bogglingly great, Anders Osborne can play the gutbucket bluesman and hot guitar slinger, and he can play the sensitive, soulful singer/songwriter, and he’s excellent at both. The guy is a triple threat as a singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist. Soulful, wildly diverse, thoughtful and raw.

Luther Dickinson of the North Mississippi Allstars
“Anders Osborne blows my mind. His singing is so great; his guitar playing is so intense. He’s my favorite guy out there these days.”
