Anders Osborne, born in Sweden but now living in the south of the US, published in 2013 one of the most direct, fierce and complete products of his substantial and high-quality discographic career.
“Peace” is a stunning kaleidoscope of strong, sometimes psychedelic (as the title “Peace” demonstrates) emotions, of more cosy songs, of airy ballads and episodes a little more hard rock.
Already a favourite of rockpartyshow (his 2010 record “American Patchwork” has been SUPERrecommendedalbum of that year), Osborne confirms himself as a valuable author and an excellent musician.
The bassist Carl Dufrene and the drummer Eric Bolivar (sometimes substituted by Brady Blade) accompany the writer of “Peace” (who is responsible for voice, guitar and piano). Also John Gros (keyboards) and Jason Mingledorff (wind instruments) are part of this team.
The eleven tracks of the collection have been composed by Osborne, except for “Brush Up Against Me” which was written by Osborne and Warren Riker. The latter is co-producer of the whole work with Osborne and he is also present on percussions in many pieces of the album.
