Swedish expatriate and favorite son of New Orleans Anders Osborne will release Black Eye Galaxy May 1 via Alligator Records.

This record follows the critically acclaimed American Patchwork, an album bringing Osborne as a solo act to a considerably broader national audience. Recorded at Dockside Studio in Maurice, La., the album sees Osborne take on production duties along with engineer Warren Riker (The Fugees, Lauryn Hill and Santana) and Stanton Moore of Galactic. According to the release, the album title is a metaphor for Osborne’s often-troubled life as a traveler, a musician, an immigrant, a recovering addict, and as a husband and father.

Test Of Time is Irish singer songwriter Grainne Duffy’s second album and showcases her roots in blues, soul and Celtic music. Going from the soft rock of Everyday and What More Can I Do to the gritty blues rock of the grinding Rockin’ Rollin’ Stone and the churning rocker Please Take Care, there is one constant; her husky vocal. This will bring comparisons to Maggie Bell and Bonnie Raitt and neither is out of place. If you throw in the sultry, soulful Sweet Sweet Baby and the eponymous title track, which has Tom Petty style guitar sounds then you have most of what Grainne is about. However, she can do a ballad too as shown by the emotional closer, In My Arms.

Phenomenal Live disc by this amazing and incredibly gifted & talented guitarist featuring 15 tracks (73 mins.) of top-shelf, soul-powered, blues-based, retro-vintage, Hendrix-inspired six string mojo of monumentally serious world-class proportions.
