Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Excellent Overall and Holds Up Well
Submitted on: 2009-05-22 |
|
| In some ways, the weakest track of this CD might be One Of Us, (one of the few tracks not at least co-penned by Joan): That says something about the strength of this CD. One of Us is nearly a tongue-in-cheek throw-away that's rescued by her excellent non-melodramatic delivery. Joan's also able to evoke emotions in different genres going from ~Muscle Shoals to rockabilly to nearly atonal (I hear strands of Michelle Shocked and Jonatha Brooke and more in between). Containing unusually high production standards and crisp instrumentation, each song compels us to listen to the insightful, always thought provoking lyrics. It's mysticism, raw sexuality, and separation anxiety all rolled into one. |

Joan Osborne delves into different styles which I find very musically
interesting and upbeat. Sure "One Of Us" had a very fresh sound when it
first hit the radio and became a megahit, but the rest of the album is
simply enthralling. |

 Good Music Broken Case
Submitted on: 2008-07-30 |
|
| The CD is a fine CD, but Amazon shipping has a lot to be desired. The case has one of the ears that work as hinges broken off. I thoroughly searched the sealed envelope the CD came in and it wasn't in it so it didn't happen in transit. The case was damaged before it was packaged, and the individual packing it or the person who broke it had to have known. |

Outstanding

| This is one of those great classic albums, where an artist's "best of" isn't better. Listeners may have a least favorite song (for me, it's "Let's Just Get Naked"...and I get it), but that doesn't tarnish its five stars. |

Her songs have framed moments in my life.This album in particular. 'St. Teresa' was the first song I ever heard sung by Joan Osborne. I saw her performance of it on late night TV...Amazing-a prayer full of rhythm, smoke, love and the pain of grief observed from a distance. The next song I heard by her was 'Spiderweb' On a radio-again late at night... a dream journey and the open window-dancing around my bedroom. Each
song on this album is a touchstone to someplace/someone/sometime. The album's style mixes the richness of blues...hear a little of Bonnie Raitt "Streetlights',Some Velvet Underground..at times feels the darker edges of Sarah Mclaughlin emotional hotwire ('Crazy Baby'), The lyrics border Dylan (Man in the 'Long Black Coat' is his) and have the feel of a diary-raw and real. Over a few beers a friend and I decided *Relish* was like the perfect cup of coffee-hot,a dark roast-not to sweet, creamy edges and very satisfying! This to me is her seminal album. O' and it has her radio hit-'One of Us' If you are going to buy one of her albums -this is it. Enjoy! |
