Joan Osborne - Under the Covers, Volume 2 (1992-1993)

Here's the second of three albums I've made of Joan Osborne doing covers of famous songs in the 1990s.

Osborne is best known for her hit "One of Us" in 1995, but she's much, much more than a one-hit wonder. Frankly, she's just a good songwriter, but she's got tons of soul and has a phenomenal voice, so she really shines when she does covers of famous songs.

As I explained with Volume 1, this is based on a bootleg compilation I'd discovered named "Under the Covers." But I made my own version from scratch because most of the songs on that were from average sounding audience bootlegs. Nearly all the songs here are from excellent soundboard bootlegs instead.

In my opinion, Osborne not only has a great voice, she has great taste in music. Just about all the songs here are classics. Some of the lesser known ones are "Moonlight Mile" by the Rolling Stones, "Midnight in Memphis" done by Bette Midler, and "His Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" by Captain Beefheart.
