Album Notes
Personnel include: Joan Osborne (vocals); Alison Krauss, Vince Gill (vocals); Bryan Sutton (acoustic guitar, banjo); Sonny Landreth (slide guitar).
Recording information: 2006.
On her first album for the roots-conscious label Vanguard Records, pop-folk singer-songwriter Joan Osborne moves much further into the folk and country tradition. Parts of PRETTY LITTLE STRANGER are indistinguishable from a contemporary Nashville country record; indeed, guests include Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, and Alison Krauss. However, the Kentucky-born Osborne seems to have a natural affinity for the style, as evidenced by easygoing gems like the title track and "Shake That Devil."
Industry Reviews
[H]ere she mostly goes for a creamier country-soul sound, and the result is terrific and timeless. -- Grade: A-
[T]he disc's sound is a tasty blend of Music City, Memphis, and San Francisco. Osborne's songwriting has lost non of its edge...
