Andre Osenga | The Morning

Lately, my iPod has been stuck on Andrew Osenga's newest album, The Morning. Most know Andrew as the former frontman of the Normals or the current electric guitar player for Caedmon's Call. But if that's the only context you have of Andy, then you're missing out

I have to admit, the album didn't grab me immediately. That I will attribute to the fact that sometimes, I'm just stupid. There's a fantastic example of intelligent, meaningful songwriting on the album. The style is an independent mix of pop, rock, alternative and folk that is perfect on a long drive. I say that because the record takes you on a journey through a spectrum of emotion and lyrical content.

And if the music isn't a good enough reason for you to purchase a copy right now, you should do it anyway because he's simply a great guy with a great heart (I spent some time with him last summer when we hired him to play electric guitar on our new record). Oh yeah, and he's a much better blogger than me.
