TO BE AVAILABLE MAY 8
Fairfax,
VA (April 30, 2012) — Joan Osborne will continue her North American
tour with a series of west coast concerts in May in support of her
newest album, Bring It On Home. Osborne will perform at a
number of festivals as well as solo concerts before returning to the
east coast for the next leg of the tour. Her critically-lauded
collection of vintage blues and R&B songs landed in Amazon’s Top 20
shortly after its release on March 27th and will be available in high
definition format on May 8th, making it the only version in 24 bit for
audiophiles who demand ultra-high resolution sound quality
The accolades for Bring it on Home continue to pour in.
Newsday called it a “collection of soul and R&B covers (that) hits a
vocal sweet spot in her alto range, with her lilts and rasp playing to
perfection against a backdrop of rousing horns and bubbly piano.” Bill
Withers, who wrote “Same Love That Made Me Laugh,” heard her version and
said, “How flattered I am that Joan Osborne chose to record one of my
songs. Joan has one of those voices and knows what to do with it. She
can just flat out sing anything.” Allen Toussaint performed on his own
“Shoorah Shoorah” with Osborne and added, “It was great to hear the
song, and Joan performed it with great care. It was a wonderful and
musical experience.”
Joan Osborne has sold millions of albums and garnered multiple Grammy
nominations throughout her critically and commercially acclaimed
career. In addition to her own headlining tours, she has sung lead
vocals for The Dead (formerly the Grateful Dead) and won a Grammy for
her performance in the award-winning film Standing In The Shadows of Motown.
