BROTHERS OSBORNE’S
FIFTH STUDIO ALBUM
WATERTOWN
OUT NOW | LISTEN HERE
WATCH “BORN AND RAISED HELL” FEAT. CODY JOHNSON
OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE
GRAMMY, ACM and CMA award-winning duo Brothers Osborne release their fifth studio album, Watertown, today via MCA / Snakefarm in the UK. Listen HERE.
Across its 11 tracks, Watertown anchors itself in the sound and spirit of Brothers Osborne’s beginnings – honest, rough-edged and rural, and built with a blue-collar work ethic.
“We’re not just getting back to where we were born and raised, but to the roots of where we started musically,” vocalist TJ Osborne shares. “A time when music wasn’t dictated by anything other than what our hearts and souls wanted to say.”
Reuniting with long-time collaborator and producer Jay Joyce, Watertown brings a bevy of firsts to Brothers’ catalogue, including their first-ever collaborations on a full-length project – album opener “Born and Raised Hell” featuring reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Cody Johnson, and “Tough Kid” featuring mould-breaking singer / songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr.
Out today, the official music video for “Born and Raised Hell”, directed by Nick Swift and
shot in Nashville, features both acts. A vintage, throwback clip cutting between a garage performance from the trio of collaborators and flashbacks to youthful hell raisin’, watch “Born and Raised Hell” HERE.
“Grateful to have our brother Cody Johnson join us on the tune that kicks off Watertown, ‘Born and Raised Hell,’” John Osborne says. “Whether it’s the Chesapeake Bay or the Trinity River, we sure gave our water towns hell!”
