Joan Osborne’s Biography
Originally from Anchorage, Kentucky, a suburb of Louisville, Joan Osborne moved to New York City in the late 1980s. She signed with Mercury Records, and released her first full length album, Soul Show: Live at Delta 88, in 1991. Her second (and first major label) album was Relish (1995), which became a hit on the strength of the single ‘One of Us’. Apart from this song, the rest of the album was steeped in country, blues and folk music. ‘Right Hand Man’ and ‘St. Teresa’ became minor hits following the success of ‘One of Us’. In 2001, Osborne appeared on Austin City Limits, singing material mainly from Righteous Love. In a brief interview segment at the end of the episode, Osborne reflects on her gladness to have gotten out of the limelight of her mid-90′s stardom. She was featured in the 2002 documentary film, Standing in the Shadows of Motown, and toured with Motown sidemen the Funk Brothers. She and her band accompanied the Dixie Chicks for a national tour in the summer of 2003, during which time she also joined veteran San Francisco jam-rockers The Dead as a vocalist, and released her fourth album, titled How Sweet It Is, a collection of classic rock and soul covers. During 2005 and 2006, Osborne performed on numerous occasions with Phil Lesh and Friends. In February 2007, she appeared on the Grand Ole Opry. In May 2007, she issued Breakfast in Bed, a return to the soul music that she had covered on How Sweet It Is. Recently her song ‘One of Us’ was performed by the cast of Glee in the episode ‘Grilled Cheesus’.
