"I have no interest in sounding like a crappy version of James Taylor or a half-assed version of Woody Guthrie," said Osborne in the announcement. "which is what happens when almost every rock and roller straps on an acoustic guitar. No thanks... This Machine Kills Artists is a different kind of animal."

Fans can also catch Osborne on his current solo tour. Those dates include March 20 at Zanzabar in Louisville, March 21 at Radio Radio in Indianapolis, March 22 at Beat Kitchen in Chicago and March 23 at the High Noon Saloon in Madison.
