Comments and Reviews


Juke Jules SUBS 24th Oct 2023		It's worth mentioning that this entry has been edited by combining it with another European entry in 2021; this explains the duplication of some of the comments.



PhilMH 10th Nov 2020		Hi Warlock, the US Copyright Office shows the release date (apparently provided by PolyGram) as 21st March 1995; BILLBOARD didn't review this until their issue of 29th April. As I've mentioned before, the images here seem to belong to the European issue, which is linked below, so perhaps they should be hidden (and a quick look in Discogs shows a US stock copy with catalogue number as 314 526 699-2, as I suspected).



Warlock 9th Nov 2020		There is missing info. What month of 1995 did this album come out?



PhilMH 22nd May 2018		I think this is a European copy rather than US - German label code, French price code, rights societies, and absence of "Manufactured and Marketed by PolyGram Records, Inc. New York, New York". Plus, US PolyGram catalogue numbers at that time had an extra three digits at the beginning, so this one was 314 526 699-2.



Juke Jules SUBS 12th Sep 2015		Review Each track would be worth buying this album for. Osborne deals in particular with the darker side, the vices and failures of mankind, though it may take many listens for her intentions to come through. Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman had emerged from Hooters - see for example the comments on their single All You Zombies I don't believe Mark Egan has ever bettered his work on this album; his easy comfort with everything that he wants of his instrument shines through on every track, and his ability to generate exquisite tension makes St. Teresa a bass-player's tour de force. 4 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



Juke Jules SUBS 4th Jan 2015		The sample on One Of Us credited to Nell Hampton was originally released on an Alan Lomax compilation on New World Records, The Gospel Ship: Baptist Hymns & White Spirituals from the Southern Mountains



Juke Jules SUBS 4th Jan 2015		Crazy Baby She also released a single with a live version of the song



Magic Marmalade 29th Jul 2014		This is one of those artists, and albums where a single track gets in the way of, and effectively type-casts the artist unfairly by being a massive hit that nobody can get past... ... if it hadn't been for One Of Us, Joan Osborne may have gone on to have been considered one of the great blues/rock singers, but that track has that grating, insistent quality that pretty soon makes you squirm every time you hear it... awful track! But contrast that with everything else on this album, and you'd be doing her, and yourself, an injustice by allowing that one song to put you off. St. Teresa is ecstatic and euphoric, Ladder is probably the song that should have been the single (I groove around the house to it frequently!), Crazy Baby really shows off the quality of her voice well, but Right Hand Man has to be one of the most sexually charged compulsive explosions of a rock by any female artists in recent memory, I'd be surprised if it doesn't leave you feeling a little hot under the collar afterward! What If God Was One Of Us? ....Well he certainly wouldn't have been found working in the marketing department of your record company Joan. (Skip that track, and you've got yourself an excellent album!)



Juke Jules SUBS 19th Jun 2014		It's not explained who is shown in the photo or montage on the rear cover but I like to think that the little old lady in the puritan dress could be the one who sings the snatch of "Heaven Airplane" at the start of One Of Us This song has recently come into the mainstream repertoire since it was set for choirs by John Rutter (YouTube) but it was a popular evangelical song ca. 1937 by the Sons Of The Pioneers - "Heavenly Airplane" One Of Us was Joan's big hit, but I've always regretted her humorous anthropomorphism



Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Mar 2014		Lyrics misheard in this video: "Sit down..." Spider Web is funny yet almost scary and the BGVs by Catherine Russell equal the best of all time The bass player is uncredited on Spider Web but I'd like to think it is Mark Egan For more details about the album see Wikipedia
