The Birth of Joan!I like this CD. . and I don't like this CD. I like it because this is the unique, ballsy, bluesy Joan from her best CD to date. . . "Relish". She let's it rip on this old recording instead of toning herself down as she's done on almost all of her most recent CD's (even though I like that Joan too). What I don't like is that she's way too much into the raspy, scratchy Janis Joplin style on nearly every song on this old club recording. But I see it as a snapshot of her evolution as a special talent. When you think that she went from this to "Relish" and other CD's, you can really see her development. She is indeed an outstanding talent who deserves more attention.
Can't go wrong with this...
This disc just has a great feel to it - if you like her voice, and like the r&b type sound, you'll love it. I'm a fan, especially after seeing that amazing performance she had in Shadows of Motown.

Passionate
I wish I dropped by Delta 88 to hear Joan live. Passionate and full of soul. Even if you're not a fan of her recent CDs, this one is worth getting. Think Janis Joplin, Aretha and Billie, but with her own distinct style. Buy it and enjoy, you won't be disappointed.
Amazing Blues Album!!!
B. Joan Osborne is simply an amazing talent and this may be her best album!!! Having grown up in Memphis around the music of Furry Lewis, Al Green, Elvis Presley, the Staple Singers, Jimi Hendrix, and B. King, I can tell you that this Amazing Lady graduated from the old school of Blues/Rock. If you love Blues and Rock, you simply must add this CD to your collection. You'll find yourself listening to it over and over! .
Help
Does anyone know if Joan sings the song from Joan of Arcadia-What if God were on of us?? I am sure it is her but cant find it!.
