Owsley is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Owsley, released on Giant Records in 1999. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album.

Critics have noted musical influences from 1970s pop rock, including The Beatles, Todd Rundgren, and The Cars.[1]

Owsley recorded the album in his own home studio, funded largely by his work as guitarist in Amy Grant's touring band.
