Such a great song. This year, Brothers Osborne are hitting a significant milestone in their career, as their debut album Pawn Shop will turn a decade old in 2026. First released on January 15th, 2016, Pawn Shop put John and T.J. Osborne on the map, showcasing their raw songwriting, incredible guitar solos, and genuine emotion, instantly connecting with fans. With nearly every song on the record written by John and T.J. Osborne, it showcases their willingness to take risks, push boundaries, and create a sound that was authentic to them. The risks paid off: Pawn Shop debuted at number three on the Top Country Albums chart and at 17 on the Billboard 200. The album went RIAA certified Gold a year after its release, and hits like “21 Summer,” “Stay A Little Longer,” and “Rum” are still staples in many country music fans’ playlists. To celebrate and honor what Pawn Shop did for the country music duo, Brothers Osborne announced Pawn Shop (10 Year Anniversary Edition), arriving February 13th via MCA. The album will feature newly released recordings, demos, or live versions from the Pawn Shop era, and in the leadup to that release, they’ve been putting out stripped back live performance videos of songs from the tracklist. And of course, “Stay a Little Longer” was their first big radio single, which was the second single from Pawn Shop. Duo members John and T.J. Osborne co-wrote the song with Shane McAnally, and it was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. In terms of chart success, the song peaked at #2 on the US Billboard Country Airplay, and #1 on the Mediabase chart. It was also a minor crossover success, peaking at #46 on the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre chart a week later. To date, it is their only top 10 hit on both the Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs charts, and “Stay a Little Longer” was certified Gold by the RIAA in 2015. I vividly remember how much I used to hear it on the radio, and I became an instant fan like so many after hearing it for the first time. In an interview with Rolling Stone years ago, TJ explained the real meaning behind it: “That song gives them everything that we are. It starts off and the verses are really emotional and fragile. You don’t want to be alone, you’re making the phone call, taking the trip to the house and then you’re tearing t-shirts off and it’s this electric thing. But then, boom, you’re by yourself again: ‘I’m lying here wishing you could stay a little longer.'” While they’ve gone on to have great success since this release, it really is the song that started it all in terms of it being their breakout moment, and I can’t get enough of this acoustic rendition… there’s just something about TJ’s distinctively low and gritty baritone that is so striking with an acoustic backing like this. Their harmonies are beautiful, and of course, John absolutely rips. I have to admit, I kind of forgot about this song, but I’m going to have to put it back in my regular rotation because it’s just flawless: “Stay A Little Longer”  The post Brothers Osborne Release Flawless Acoustic Performance Video Of Their Breakthrough Hit, “Stay A Little Longer” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
