Black Eye Galaxy

Based out of New Orleans, Osborne offers up some rockin’ tunes with big drums, crunchy guitar, some mellower numbers which tend to be on the (slightly) poppy sound and a few jammy tunes. Introspective songs of addiction, relationships - all those good r’n’r themes. Drums, bass, nice guitar (esp. on #11). RIYL Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, big rock, easy-going tunes. No FCC’s.

*My Favorites*: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10.

1. (4:19) Mid. Loud pounding drums, big guitar, big vocals.
2. *(7:29) Mid. Fades in, mellow jam, then vocals. Sweet and ominous.
3. *(4:10) Mid. Cool and mellow, a bit poppy. Nice.
4. (4:55) Mid. Big plodding drums, crunchy guitar. Pop.
5. (4:59) Mid. Rockin’, crunchy guitar, processed vocal.
6. *(11:16) Slow / Mid. Title track. Mellow with quieter vocal delivery, backing vocals, easy beat. Gets jammy with wah-wah guitar.
7. *(4:04) Mid. Easy-going acoustic tune with harmonica, sticks, guitar.
8. *(5:47) Mid. Nice guitar, percussion, story-song. Great stuff.
9. (4:41) Slow / Mid. Harmonica, guitar, plodding beat. Fake end, then a ringing bell.
10. *(3:56) Mid. String piece with backing vocals. Heavenly.
