About this item

Joan Osborne's debut album "Relish" was a huge worldwide hit but her second disappered without trace. It's a case of back to basics with "How Sweet It Is" her brand new third release. This album combines soul and rock classics from such artists as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix with contemporary soul and funk arrangements resulting in music that is familiar yet cutting edge. Osbourne has one of the best voices in the business and her interpretaions put the likes of Eva Cassidy to shame and she's on familiar territory here - every track is a well known classic and her take on them is often suprisingly successful.
