Brothers Osborne—siblings TJ and John, and their band—are in their adult-contemporary era on their fourth album, and that's not a boring thing. Nor is it criticism to call "Who Says You Can't Have Everything" smooth, easy listening country. "We Ain't Good at Breaking Up" brings along Miranda Lambert for a Fleetwood Mac-ish slow-burn. "Love You Too" melds Alabama's trad-country and Southern rock with the grandiosity of Kings of Leon.
The brothers from Maryland sound confident and sure of their place in contemporary Nashville, which is important considering that TJ came out in 2021, making him the first major country star who is openly gay. You can't help but read a bit of pride in the ass-shaking Southern rock of "Might As Well Be Me": "Somebody gotta shake things up/ Somebody gotta shut things down/ Somebody gotta strike a match/ Break the ice and buy the first round." Maybe it's about his history-making declaration or maybe, at face value, it's about getting the party started, but the song makes the most of TJ's signature baritone twang, layering on revving guitar and an on-fire solo from John. TJ's voice is rich as ever on the album's sole ballad, melancholy-sounding love song "Rollercoaster (Forever and a Day)", with its message of how opposites attract and complement. "New Bad Habit," meanwhile, finds him pushing smoldering temptation and bad-boy flirtation alongside Stonesy guitar: "I want to be your pack a day ... I want to be your 90 proof … can't quit cold and you can't rehab it."
TJ has long had a habit of singing about vice as a metaphor—for relationships, for humility (getting effed up and effing up), for a good time—and there's no shortage of that here. Kissed by a bit of dub and R&B, "Goodbye's Kicking In" explores how break-up regrets hit "like that first cigarette, like that second shot of whiskey." And "Sun Ain't Even Gone Down Yet," with its bluesy honky-tonk riff, is an ode to day drinking: "We were already high noon high/ If a cold libation's any indication/ We're gonna have a hell of a night." Some things never change, and TJ makes it clear on '80s-rich "Nobody's Nobody" that he wants the music to speak for itself: "Some people never ever make a name/ But change the game in someone's story/ I'm still tryna leave my mark/ With a simple song and an old guitar/ One thing I've learned out on the road is/ Nobody's nobody." © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
