His two solo albums have won critical acclaim, and his debut album was nominated for a Grammy Award, as was the song "Threaten Me With Heaven" (posthumously).〔Buckner, Brett (10 February 2012).

== Early life and influences ==
Owsley was born and raised in Anniston, Alabama in a musical household. His father was the drum major of the Million Dollar Band, the marching band of the University of Alabama; his mother was a singer and stage actress; his sister was a classically trained pianist, and his brother was a rock guitarist, with whom Owsley played in the band Stormfront. Owsley graduated from The Rectory School〔The Birmingham News (May 3, 2010). (William Reese III obituary ). Retrieved on May 14, 2010.〕 and attended the Blue Ridge School.
He was a guitarist and singer in the Southeastern rock club band Baghdad in the mid-80's that played both covers and original work,〔C. A. Abernathy (16 October 1986). (Baghdad – Review – October 1986 ). Unknown newspaper.〕 before moving to Nashville, Tennessee in 1987.〔Wynn, Ron (January 9, 2004). (Nashville’s Will Owsley set for solo superstardom ). Nashville City Paper. Retrieved May 17, 2010.〕
Owsley started playing guitar at age nine. He was a fan of Kiss and of Todd Rundgren, but mostly practiced Eddie Van Halen and Steve Morse licks note-for-note. With his father's mentorship, he played snare drum in the Anniston High School marching band, whilst continuing his passion for guitar, playing in his high school jazz band and in top-40 cover bands at local venues.〔 Later, when he began writing his own songs, they were more similar to the style of The Beatles. As a guitarist, he also cited influences such as Chet Atkins, Jimi Hendrix and Robert Johnson.〔
