Album Notes Personnel: Joan Osborne (vocals). Following up on her earlier album HOW SWEET IT IS, BREAKFAST IN BED continues Joan Osborne's unexpected second career as a gifted re-interpreter of vintage soul and R&B tunes of the 1960s and '70s. Unlike many artists who would hew closely to the familiar versions of these songs, Osborne is fairly loose with her reinterpretations. This is for the better, because Osborne's passionate delivery of well-known tunes --Hall and Oates's "Sara Smile" and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine," among others--transform the familiar songs into new and interesting performances. Osborne's handful of original tunes sound impressively at home in their surroundings, especially the outstandingly slinky torch song "Eliminate the Night."
Industry Reviews The album is ripe with savvy picks and a trio of soulful Osborne originals...
