montg Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 Osby's new one is a live recording with Nicholas Payton. Looks as though they'll be playing some stuff from the st Louis Shoes CD (which I really like). Joan Osborne appears on one cut--can't quite place her, but isn't she the one who had a pop song about God a few years ago? osby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 All I know of Joan Osborne is her work on the DVD Standing in the Shadows of Motown, which was pretty good, I thought. (Her work, I mean; overall, the DVD was damned good!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyhersom Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 The hit single was nowhere near the best song on Joan Osborne - Relish, which I highly recommend. Later releases have struck me as less inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I'm looking forward to Osby's new one, quite a bit - since I have also been that way with everything he's recorded since about 1998 or so. BUT, I only "liked" St. Louis Shoes (and I didn't "love" it). By way of comparision, I was TOTALLY blown away by Invisble Circle and Symbols of Light, and nearly blown away by Zero and Invisible Hand. St. Louis Shoes is a very good album, but honestly -- after Osby's previous four albums, I was expecting something better than just "very good" - if you know what I mean. That said, I have only moderate hopes for his new one being anything better than an 8 on a 10 scale. It'll be real good, maybe even really good. But I have my doubts about in being "great!!!!" - if you know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrome Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Not to turn this into the Joan Osborne thread, but her cover CD ("How sweet it is") is absolutely fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzdog Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I like Joan Osborne a lot..shes WAY beyond that God song...which was written by one of the members of the Hooters. Enough said. Everything else on Relish and her other cd, Righteous Love is well..righteous!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJ Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) Another big thumbs up for RELISH, a pretty audacious debut. Have been very nervous about picking up any albums since then because I don't want to be disappointed! "St. Theresa," "Ladder," "Pensacola," all amazing tunes. The "God" single was pretty good too actually, despite being written by a Hooter - just overplayed. Clever, funny, catchy, hell even Prince covered it live. Anyway, the new Osby sounds VERY promising, nice line up. Edited April 8, 2004 by DrJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 (edited) Cover image, courtesy of ol' Tomato Blue's website: PS - I saw no mention that this was a live recording. Are you sure about that, montg? Edited May 13, 2004 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montg Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 (edited) Aggie, I was just going off of info from his publicist's cite (the link is in the original message). It states, in part, : " his first live album in six years with Public, recorded live at New York's Jazz Standard in January 2004."

Aggie87 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 montg - I missed the link earlier, sorry! Funny that the BN site doesn't make mention that it's a live date... Looking forward to this release either way - hope it has the energy of Banned in New York!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Link: Listen to three tunes (in full) from Obsy's "Public" FYI, the tune with Joan Osborne is one of the three tracks (track #7). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWright Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I listened to the samples and thought they were pretty good. The playing has a lot of energy and in fact the versions on the studio album seem limp in comparison at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
