Touring in support of her tenth studio album, the masterful Trouble and Strife, Joan Osborne has issued a clarion call. With stunning vocals, a diverse range of sonics, and incisive lyrics, this deeply engaging collection of new original songs is her response to \u201cthe crazy, chaotic times we\u2019re living in,\u201d she says, and \u201ca recognition of the important role music has to play in this moment. Music has a unique ability to re-energize people and allow us to continue to hang on to that sense of joy of being alive.\u201d
\nSince she broke through 25 years ago with the multi-platinum Relish and its touchstone mega-smash \u201cOne of Us,\u201d the seven-time Grammy nominee has never played it safe. Osborne has followed her restless musical heart, exploring a diverse range of genres: pop rock, soul, R&B, blues, roots rock, gospel, funk, and country \u2013 all of which can be heard on Trouble and Strife, along with the Western side of C&W and a touch of glam and disco. \u201cFor a lot of the record, we were going for a \u201870s AM radio vibe,\u201d says Osborne. As for the lyrics, the songs \u201care the most political I\u2019ve ever written,\u201dshe conveys of her first album of originals since 2014\u2019s confessional Love and Hate. Osborne also produced Trouble and Strife, primarily recorded in her basement studio in Brooklyn and released on the label she founded in 1991, Womanly Hips.
\nMulti-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter Larry Campbell and singer-guitarist Teresa Williams are frequent collaborators with Phil Lesh, Levon Helm, Little Feat, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady, brought to the stage the crackling creative energy of a decades-long offstage union.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
