…I raised my sail and let the wisdom of the group mind push me in the direction it (or fate) had mapped out and within the blink of an eye my bow was aiming toward the Village... we were Lion's Den bound. Sure, there was a chance that the show there was already deep in the second set, that we'd get there just as things were winding down, or worse that we'd walk in on mediocrity and abandon the sure thing of the Tap Bar's offerings. You know where this is headed right? Was it all predestined from before Langerado was even a glimmer in the universe's eyes? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but I really don't care. When the God of Decisions, Decisions, Decisions actually graces you with the right choice, you don't quibble with what might have been... you just shake your ass, as hard as you can, repeatedly, stopping only to imbibe (gotta appease the Deity of Hard Boozin'!).

Sure things are sure things and then there's Anders Osborne . We walked in just as he was working out sound kinks in anticipation of the second set. The place was crawling with faces that were more than just friendly, they were infested with big, fat (the term is "shit eating") grins. Buy that man a drink, let's get it on!! Praise be thee!! A beer and a whiskey later I was drowning in good times: my cheeks hurt from smiling, my body was pulling a John "Cougar" Mellencamp and hurting so good and my cup overfloweth with nasty, nasty Nawlins party music. Anders was on fire: a brilliant, perfect mix of Van Morrison, Jimi Hendrix and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. The room was aswelter in the heat he was giving off -- I can't recall being in a room in the city where everyone, I mean everyone was smiling and dancing their asses off. Every once in a while the spirit of New Orleans, the sweaty, dank funkfest of 2am NOLA escapes to the northern climes. Early Saturday morning, Osborne, with Kirk Joseph, Eric Bolivar and Tim Green marching lockstep in the parade, was spraying that spirit on the faithful at the Lion's Den. It's one thing to have that New Orleans vibe t, but it's another to have it while being so fucking talented and Anders is nothing if not a blisteringly good guitar player. Shredder through and through. He sang song after sweet sweet song about his home town, about rains in the Crescent City, partying til dawn and everything else and we just kept on dancing. For much of the set a trumpet player sort of camped out just offstage, trying to get in there to jam. Finally, Anders, who had no idea who this guy was, invited him up and he blew some mediocre horn -- it was a quintessential NOLA moment, the spirit of interaction of the jam session of just showing up to play. It's rare around these parts, but Osborne didn't hesitate and didn't try to force the guy off after a solo or another one or another one. He certainly overstayed his welcome, but despite that, did nothing to slow the momentum. If anything, it spurred the other guys to bring it up a notch, to overwhelm his "eh" playing with a sustained ass-kicking. That summed up the set perfectly. The gods were maybe testing Anders & Co -- let's see what you really got!! Great people, great music, is there anything else that needs to be said?

Review Comments: Anders Osborne is an integral part of the New Orleans music scene. A Grammy-winning songwriter/producer for artists such as Tim McGraw, Keb.. Mo.., Dr. John, and others, Anders is also a ferocious performer in his own right. His original songs (some were recorded for the first time on this album) integrate blues, ballads, roots-rock, and jazz in an intricate musical gumbo. Add to that a healthy dose of spur-of-the-moment jams and improvisations, and you have what has become one of the most revered live performers in the Crescent City. Joined by band mates Kirk Joseph (sousaphone), Tim Green (tenor sax), and Eric Bolivar (drums), plus sit-ins Andy Forest (harmonica), Hiro Mano (guitar), and John Fohl (guitarist in Dr. John..s band), this live multi-track recording from Tipitina..s on November of 2006 is classic Anders Osborne.

New Live Cd - Our show from Tipitina's on November 17th is now up for pre-order and sale as a cd and download at www.andersosbornelive.com. You'll also be able to purchase the cd off of iTunes and in select stores around New Orleans.
