Biography

Alabama-born and Tennessee-based singer/songwriter and guitarist Will Owsley first surfaced in 1993 as a member of the power pop band The Semantics, and in 1994 he became a member of Amy Grant's touring band. In the wake of The Semantics' breakup and assisted by proceeds from his stint with Grant, he built a home studio and turned to recording his debut solo LP, crafted over a four-year period. Credited to simply Owsley, the self-titled LP appeared on Giant in 1999. The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living followed on Lakeview Entertainment in February of 2004. Owsley was active as a session guitarist and producer for the remainder of the decade. In April of 2010 he died of an apparent suicide in Franklin, TN at the age of 44. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

    Lyrics
    There's a house down on the corner
    That we always used to talk about
    Never had the guts to go inside
    Not even on a dare
    Boarded up and creepy

    Lyrics
    I went back home the other day
    To see some old friends that I used to know
    It was strange to see what all had changed
    But just like me my hometown had to grow
    On lazy Sunday afternoons
