How Brothers Osborne Wrote “All Night”
Before the pandemic began, John and TJ of Brothers Osborne were working on their album, Skeletons when a song idea came up.
TJ explains how they wrote “All Night”.
“It was before all this stuff happened, and these are the type of moments that get lost with Zoom (writing). So, we were there (in the studio) just chatting, just catching up with each other, and John just starts playing this lick and he had a baritone guitar, and it was badum, badum, badum and he had a baritone guitar, and I was like, ‘Stop! Everybody stop talking! Like that is awesome. Let’s write that right now!’ And we did. And that’s like, obviously, that’s my favorite part of the song. It’s like this badass like awesome guitar part. That type of thing is definitely lost on Zoom, but I think being there in the moment, that was like the leading thing that happened. And then we started working with these compound words and we were like, ‘All Night, I got this, you got that,’ and we kind of put it together.”
Brothers Osborne is nominated for two ACM Awards, including Duo of the Year and Album of the Year for Skeletons.
