The Osborne Brothers - Rocky Top
Review by nate jones
The Osborne Brothers' album Rocky Top is a classic bluegrass masterpiece that showcases the duo's exceptional musicianship and vocal harmonies. Released in 1968, the album features some of the most iconic bluegrass tunes of all time, including the title track "Rocky Top," which has become the official state song of Tennessee.
From the lively and upbeat "Ruby (Are You Mad)" to the hauntingly beautiful "My Favorite Memory," the album is a testament to the Osborne Brothers' ability to blend traditional bluegrass sounds with contemporary style. The duo's intricate banjo and mandolin picking, combined with their tight vocal harmonies, create a sound that is both authentic and modern.
The album's standout tracks include "Rocky Top," which has become a bluegrass standard and is still played at University of Tennessee football games to this day, and "Kentucky," a heartfelt tribute to the duo's home state. Other highlights include the lively "Bluegrass Express" and the soulful "Roll Muddy River."
