The music industry saw a major country collaboration drop on Thursday as Brothers Osborne released their fifth studio album, Watertown. The record features a headline duet with Texas artist Cody Johnson titled Born and Raised Hell.
The new album contains eleven tracks that explore the brothers' roots in Deale, Maryland. John and TJ Osborne cite their upbringing and hometown experiences as the primary inspiration for the music. The project serves as a return to the local culture that shaped the duo.
This is not the first time Johnson and the Osborne brothers have recorded together. The group appeared on Johnson's album Banks of the Trinity earlier this year with the song Fool Proof. The new track marks a reunion for the three artists. John Osborne, Lee Miller, and Kendell Marvel wrote the new song.
The lyrics focus on childhood mischief and hometown pride. The accompanying music video was directed by Nick Swift and filmed in Nashville. The video features a vintage aesthetic with scenes of the artists performing in a garage. It also includes clips of youthful adventures.
The song is scheduled to impact country radio on November 2. Listeners can access the track and the official video now. The release of Watertown on October 23 positions the new duet for an immediate promotional push in the genre.
