Ringo Starr News

Few musicians know what it's like to leave New Orleans for California, record an album with a few absolutely legendary musicians, and return home in time to release said album and play the main stage at one of the world's most beloved music festivals—but by the time the second weekend of New Orlean's Jazz and Heritage Festival rolls around, Anders Osborne will. On April 26th, Osborne'sBuddha and the Blues will be released worldwide on Back On Dumaine Records. With the title in hand from the start, Osborne had a clear vision of how his new record should resonate, noting that, “Buddha and the Blues means the duality of our existence. The lyrics are supposed to be true, conversational, and uplifting with clean, classic, and thumpin' sounds. That's what I set out to accomplish.” Buddha and the Blues is available for pre-order here, and every fan who pre-orders will be entered for a chance to win a vinyl test-pressing copy of the record.
