A first single has been released from Bobby Osborne’s upcoming 60th Anniversary album on Rural Rhythm, Memories: Celebrating Bobby’s 60th Anniversary as a Professional Entertainer. The project will be a mix of newly recorded material and classic tracks from Osborne’s six decades in the biz.
The single is Bring Back Yesterday, recorded with Bobby’s touring band, The Rocky Top X-Press, which recalls the style and arrangement of the hey day of The Osborne Brothers in the 1960s. Here’s just a taste:
