Years before they climbed the country charts with songs like “Stay a Little Longer” and “Rum,” the Brothers Osborne grew up in Deale, Maryland, a small fishing town on the Atlantic seaboard It was a cozy place, filled with blue-collar workers who made their living on the water During the weekends, many of those workers would head over to the Osborne household, where a series of loose, all-night jam sessions filled the Maryland air with the sounds of Bob Seger, Hank Williams, Tom Petty and George JonesThe Osborne siblings strummed their first chords during those jam sessions From the very start, TJ Osborne was the brother with the voice He sang in a thick, low baritone, crooning like Johnny Cash long before he was even old enough to drive Older brother John, on the other hand, was the family’s guitar shredder, his fingers capable of down-home bluegrass licks, arena-worthy rock riffs, country twang, and everything in between Combined, the two Osbornes could play everything from traditional country music to rock & roll, creating a broad, full-bodied sound that would eventually fill the 11 songs on their major-label debut, Pawn ShopLike its title suggests, Pawn Shop offers a little bit of everything There’s bluesy slide guitar, country duets, southern rock solos, harmonies, and plenty of groove
