Album Notes
Joan Osborne: Eric Bazilian (guitar, mandolin); Ann Marie Calhoun (violin); Rick Chertoff (keyboard); Mark Egan (bass guitar); Steve Holly (drums).
Working for the first time since her breakthrough album, 1995's RELISH, with producer Rick Chertoff and musicians and co-songwriters Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman (of 1980s pop stars the Hooters, also known for their work on Cyndi Lauper's SHE'S SO UNUSUAL), Joan Osborne has made her most radio-friendly and self-assured album in some time. Based on Bazilian and Hyman's trademark blend of Appalachian folk instruments and glossy pop hooks, the 11 songs on LITTLE WILD ONE are solid showcases for Osborne's warm and increasingly soulful vocal style.
Industry Reviews
['Hallelujah in the City'] opens her sixth album....Amid chiming mandolin and folk-rock electric guitar, Osborne's sturdy voice rises in the track's climactic moments to gospel-like conviction.
3 stars out of 5 -- Osborne's never been less than versatile, well able to merge soul, country, blues, gospel and general what-have-you....She melds all these influences in a tribute to her now beloved New York...
[W]ith full-blooded singing and deep roots-music grooves. Her subject is life in NYC, but her longing roams free. -- Grade: B
