Original price was: $30.00.$18.00Current price is: $18.00.Singer/songwriter Joan Osborne will release a collection of unearthed live in-studio radio recordings entitled Radio Waves. The 13-song album is a unique, hand-picked assortment of Osbornes favorite and most captivating live appearances culled from 100+ radio station performances over her 25-year career. See the full track listing below.
Following the 2020 release of her critically acclaimed Trouble and Strife, Osborne canceled her touring plans and spent the lockdown like many others visiting backburner projects and sorting through the contents of old, dusty shoeboxes.
Most of my lifes work has disappeared without a trace, Osborne said Ive made 10+ studio albums, but the vast majority of the songs Ive sung hundreds and thousands of times over decades of touring across the globe, has never been recorded.
What Osborne found buried deep within her closets are relics of those lost performances; time-capsule live recordings spotlighting the lightning-in-a-bottle dynamism that makes her a mesmerizing performer. The tracks of Radio Waves cover a wide range in style and source material, perfectly exhibited in the albums bookends starting with Saint Teresa from a KCRW session in 1995 and ending on a take of Sly and the Family Stones Everybody Is A Star performed at KROQ in 2002.
Consistent throughout Radio Waves are Osbornes bigtime silky voice, soulful and smooth instrumentation from the likes of veteran accompanists Andrew Carillo and Jack Petruzzelli and a keen ear for heart-lifting song selections. Inspiring, stylistic choices span classics like Stevie Wonders Loves In Need of Love Today and Bob Dylans Make You Feel My Love, as well as deeper cuts such as Bill Withers Same Love That Made Me Laugh and Toshi Reagons Real Love.
