Brothers Osborne It Ain'T My Fault Chords
The song was co-written by the pair and Lee Thomas Miller in mid-2015. As implied by the title line, the song is about "a person who stubbornly, amusingly refuses to accept responsibility for his own acts." Miller came up with the opening words about "a sequence of events leading to an affair" while creating a drum beat similar to the one used in "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" using a phone app that replicates drum patterns. Billboard likened the "sequence of incidents that result in a cheatin' situation" to Joe Diffie's "Third Rock from the Sun." Jay Joyce produced the session, Jason Hall engineered it, and John Osborne played lead guitar, Adam Box played drums, and Pete Sternberg played bass. [1] According to John Osborne of Billboard, "We've all been there when we're inebriated and obstinate and refuse to accept it. That is, in fact, the subject of the song. Even the singer is aware that he is at fault." [1] T. J. Osborne, the song's lead vocalist, delivers the song mostly in a "darker frequency." [1]
While some may find Brothers Osborne's style of blazing country-rock daunting, at its finest, this CMA Award-winning pair is more concerned with pushing the boundaries of country music than with radio success. They've already been rewarded for doing so (a No. 1 hit with "Stay a Little Longer," a 2016 CMA award for vocal duet of the year), so releasing "It Ain't My Fault" isn't so much a stylistic stopgap on the way to a new album as it is them broadening their specialty. Are You Aware? : The venue's ceiling fell during a recent Brothers Osborne performance. Rather than cancel, they performed on the top of their tour bus.
