Anders Osborne - American Patchwork (2010)

Anders was born in 1966 in Uddevalla, Sweden, left home at age sixteen, and hitchhiked and played music throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the U.S. He settled in New Orleans in 1985 and still calls Louisiana his home.
During his first decade in New Orleans, Anders lived in the French Quarter and played regularly in local clubs. After gaining a following, Anders received an independent record deal with Rabadash Records out of New Orleans, and released "Doin’ Fine" in 1989.
Anders and his band toured the U.S. during these years 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 and in 1999 released his fourth album, "Living Room", a very personal record that signified some new directions in Anders’ music after the breakup with his longtime partner Theresa Andersson, drug use, and a family death. This album also features guest appearances by Keb Mo, Kirk Joseph and Tommy Malone.
