Amazon.com Who'd have thought a Swede raised on an island in the Baltic, not a single drop of African blood in his veins, would emerge as one of the leading exponents of R&B and blues in New Orleans? Unlike many musicians from elsewhere who've staked out turf there, Osborne stays true to his own musical conceits, rather than mimic the storied local tradition. On his sixth and probably best album, he wrestles sincere feeling from every note he sings and every blue note he plays on guitars, no matter if his technical skills aren't commanding. In his favor, too, the program is filled with sturdy, original slow blues and medium-tempo blues-rock songs. The one stinker is the trad-jazz-flavored "Life Is Strange." Guests: Jonny Lang and Keb' Mo'. Secret weapon: Kirk Joseph, playing bass lines on sousaphone. --Frank-John Hadley Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Brett H. (BlooZRocker) Reviewed on 7/21/2009... VERY GOOD in its own right and the rest in the 2nd to last line of the AMG review is right on target. Forget how any of the names dropped in that review make you alternately swoon or cringe, the straight line on this CD is that Anders Osborne is purely awesome, with exactly that NOLA "slurry wobbble" mentioned. Yer all gonna love this one and maybe even learn to like sax like its done right here, if you don't already... And I didn't even get to tracks 10-14 yet, but theyd just be icing on the cake 1 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful.
CD ReviewsA Swede CAN Sing The Blues Dina Glardon | riverside, il United States | 03/16/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ash Wednesday Blues is an important addition to the blues music world. Osborne Anders is a headliner at the New Orleans Blues Festival and this man can sing the blues. He first caught my attention during an interview on public radio. Anders belongs in New Orleans right up with the best of them and he has a wonderful attitude towards his music and the great musicians that he plays with. Don't miss this one." A happy survivor does it again! David Yeates | MANDEVILLE, LOUISIANA USA | 03/15/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Anders keeps thrilling local Lousiana audiences with his great voice and guitar in live shows from Jazz Fest to all the best local New Orleans clubs. And this new disc keeps the fire burning on his collective recorded output...another disc that will please New Orleans music, roots rock, blues and R and B fans alike...great guitar, vocals, songwriting, and thoughful production from Leon Medica. After surviving the demons of overindulgence several years back, Anders has reformed his life and vision in a positive and intelligent manner that is evident throughout "Ash Wednesday Blues.""
