Anders Osborne
Anders Osborne (born 1966, Uddevalla, Sweden) is an American singer and songwriter.
Early life
As a teen, Anders started playing guitar and listening to Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Jackson Browne, and Joni Mitchell records. He fell in love with the vocal styles of Ray Charles, Van Morrison and Lowell George. Then he heard the blues of Robert Johnson and recordings of African drumming, and suddenly, everything clicked. "Blues connected everything together for me," Osborne recalls. "The early rock, the R&B, the jazz, the singer-songwriters. Blues was like a thread running through everything." He began playing in Open D tuning (a rare choice for a guitar virtuoso), which gives his fretwork a signature sound and feel. "I first heard Open D on Joni Mitchell's Blue," he says, "and my fingers just fit the tuning."
Anders left home at age sixteen, and hitchhiked and played music throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. He settled in New Orleans in 1985 and still calls Louisiana his home.

Tracking My Roots
by: Anders OsborneYeah they say I'm a lonely creature
Even with kids and a wife
That I walk to the tune of a loner
Yeah I've done it all my life
They accuse me of having an accent
Like it's something bad to have
When I sing people listen
And sometimes it makes me mad
(Chorus)
Yeah I'm heading out on the ocean
South of Lafourche
I'm going out to Canada
Tracking my roots
I'm tracking my roots
I fell in love once in the graveyard
All her kisses stole my soul
I've loved her since the beginning yeah
And I will til I'm dead and cold
Sometimes I want to get real drunk
Why I know I'm not suppose to
Yeah I curse that damn addiction
That took all those years from me and you
(Chorus)
Yeah I'm heading out on the ocean
South of Lafourche
I'm going out to Canada
Tracking my roots
