Joan Osborne (natural July 8, 1963) is an American singer-songwriter originally from Anchorage, Kentucky (now section of Louisville). Fallowing moving to New York City in the early 1990s, Osborne formed her own record label, Womanly Hips, to release two or three independent recordings prior to sign language to Mercury Records. Her number one album was Relish, which became a hit due to the only "One of Us". A song was very much extra pop-oriented than a rest of the album, which was steeped inside country, blues and folk music. "Right Hand Man" and "St. Teresa" were minor hits as a consequence a profits of "One of Us", & Osborne's audience grew significantly sustaining her appearance at Lilith Fair. Doing thus located her in the equivalent school of female singer-songwriters when Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. Her 2nd studio album was Righteous Love, an extended-delayed commercial failure; it fell off a stock and index charts quickly. Osborne was featured in the 2002 film Standing in the Shadows of Motown and toured with legendary Motown sidemen The Funk Brothers. She & her band accompanied a Dixie Chicks for a national tour in the summertime of 2003, during which period she too joined seasoned San Francisco jam-rockers A Dead (understand Grateful Dead) as a vocalist, & freed her third album, coroneted How else Sweet These are, the collection of classic rock and soul covers.
