Skeletons is the third studio album by American country music duo Brothers Osborne. It was released by EMI Records Nashville on October 9, 2020. The album includes the singles "All Night" and "I'm Not for Everyone".
"All Night" was released to radio in 2020 as the album's lead single. [3] [4]
The album was re-released on January 21, 2022 with the bonus tracks "Younger Me", "Headstone", and "Midnight Rider's Prayer". [5] "Younger Me" was released in mid-2021 as a promotional single in honor of lead singer T. J. Osborne coming out as gay earlier in the year. The track "Midnight Rider's Prayer" incorporates Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" and thus credits Nelson as a co-writer. [6]
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic rated the album 4.5 out of 5 stars, stating that "Maybe it's true that Brothers Osborne aren't quite for everyone, an admission they shrug off early on the album, but the great thing about Skeletons is how it sounds like they're appealing to wide quadrants of rock, pop, country, and Americana audiences without sounding like anything but themselves." [1]
Skeletons was nominated for the Album of the Year award at the 55th Annual Country Music Association Awards and "Younger Me" was nominated for Video of the Year. Brothers Osborne won the Vocal Duo of the Year award based on the strength of the album. It was also nominated for the Album of the Year award at the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards.
Brothers Osborne received two nominations at the 64th Grammy Awards: Grammy Award for Best Country Album for Skeletons and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Younger Me." The latter won a Grammy. [7]

Faith is the third studio album by American country music artist Faith Hill, released in 1998. Due to the success of the single "This Kiss" in Australia and the UK, the album was released under the title Love Will Always Win, featuring the title track, a new version of "Piece of My Heart" and two new versions of "Let Me Let Go", which replace "You Give Me Love", "My Wild Frontier", "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me" and the original version of "Let Me Let Go". Other tracks on this album are mixed differently and remove some of the country elements and replacing them with a more pop sound. In some countries, "It Matters to Me", the title track and hit single from Hill's second album, is also included as a bonus track. "Better Days" was previously recorded by Bekka & Billy on their debut album. "Love Will Always Win" was later issued as a single by Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood from Brooks' album The Lost Sessions. "I Love You" was originally recorded by Celine Dion for her album, Falling into You. The album was released on April 21, 1998, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Country Album. It was certified six-times Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of over six million copies in the United States. Two songs off of the album, "This Kiss" and "Let Me Let Go", were both nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
