Joan Osborne - How Sweet It Is
They say that familiarity
breeds contentment and that may be true, but take a listen
to Joan Osborne's "How Sweet It Is" and you'll
find twelve familiar tracks with a fresh new feel! The debut
single - I'll Be Around - puts a jazzy "spin"
on the old Spinner's classic. "Think" is nothing
but cool, groovin' funk. "Only You Know and I Know"
combines rock, jazz and funk and even the title track takes
an upbeat, bouncy ditty, loads it with minor chords and
turns it into something moody and melancholy. And in these
troubled times, Joan's slowed-down version of the 70's anthem
"War (What Is It Good For?)" couldn't be more
apropos. But my personal favorite has got to be "These
Arms Of Mine" - spare and sweet. Whether you're a fan
of smooth jazz, R&B, funk, folk or just great music,
"How Sweet It Is" is ... indeed! by
