Skeletons (Brothers Osborne album) Last updated September 20, 2025 Content "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]
Critical reception 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."
