Blessing and a Curse.

Great Rock 'n Roll bands are in short supply these days. What a breath of fresh air to hear Blessing and a Curse! Track after track, of one great song after another!

Breakfast in Bed.

Joan Osborne has been one of my favorite singers for over a decade. Her raspy voice lends itself to many genres, but none more than Soul. Breakfast in Bed is a collection 70s Soul re-do's PLUS a few originals. The songs flow together seamlessly..

Joan's voice has never been better and it's obvious that she loves the material. My only (very small) grip is the choice of two very well known covers, "Midnight Train to Georgia" and "Ain't No Sunshine". BUT, in retrospect, these songs are designed to draw in the casual listener to what's to follow. "I've Got to Use My Imagination" is excellent up tempo Soul; "Break Up to Make Up" is silky late night soul; and.... MORE.
