Saint Teresa - Joan Osborne with Donal Lunny

[cincygrad]

What a beautiful version of this song. I remember when Relish came out and got it on cassette.Went to the store the other day and they had a used CD of it for 99 cents. Needless to say I snapped it up. Hands down the best song on that album...haunting and beautiful.

Nice to see it interpreted w/some great Celtic musicians. Agree...criminally underappreciated artist.

[MoniMeka]

i love this song!

[andjkh]

Great version, the video of the original is a little strange for me - this is great.

[SuperMiniPerson]

Love Carlisle's indoor guard!! doing this song...sooo good!!!

[puppylover01997]

@SuperMiniPerson They are very well put together.

[pjotr60dvd]

is that Michael McGoldrick on the flute?

[jacobmiddagh]

She has a beautiful voice, and seems to b under appreciated. She looks amazing aswell, definetly criminally underappreciated!

[yeuxdor4]

[andie40s]

Absolutely Brilliants!!!

[fangstudio]

[SEOIGE]

unbelieavably good!!!

[rashton78]

so much musical talent in one room is amazing! understated musicians combining to produce the most fantastic sound ever! Transatlantic sessions was one of the best programmes on TV i have seen. please make more!!

[Babaziba]

Gorgeous. Took the soul of the original and sent it out to see the world.

[seanp2500]

i just "discovered" this song recently thanks for posting had no idea it was Joan Osborne thanks very much for this...

[SpiritLevelBubble]

Three people didn't like this. How can anyone not like this?

[stevewilson20]

@SpiritLevelBubble I just don't get it, too. That song is so exciting. Even much better than her worldwide hit "One Of Us"!

[GitteJP]

So simple, so pure and so fantastic!

[driveonshesaid]

What a beautiful woman :)

[LochMeikle]

Transatlantic Sessions Series 4 will be transmitted on BBC Four TV on Friday 18 September 2009 at 20:30 BST (CD and DVD will follow). Series runs for 6 weeks.

[MsGraciemay]

This is so amazing ... great live version its so cool and casual! Imagine all them great musicians in your living room!

[TarnakeDusty]

Phenomenal, organic performance, if this doesn't move you, you might not have a soul... brilliant.

[MademoiselleSwann]

Wow, how beautiful. American blue-eyed soul in 6/8 time done up Gaelic. But it's no gimmick; it's real music, real musicians, no audio airbrushing. Truly soulfully sung and played. Thank you so very much, tomtscotland, for posting this!

[lowemk]

This is just great in all aspects. Thanks for posting.

[bluntbrick]

Art for arts sake, maybe god is all of us

[mugglerpablo]

[mugglerpablo]

Comment est-ce possible de dégager tant d'émotions? Quelle version vibrante, haute et qui tient au coeur. Merci Joan

[billyysands]

do you know what the secret to life is? remembering the last song you heard before you paased out.

[lisbethmobile]

I will never forget the first time I saw her. She literally stopped me in my tracks in BEST BUY. They were playing her scenes from Shadows of Motown. WOW.. I bought the CD and DVD right then!

[mugglerpablo]

are you cried? I've cried the first time where I've understood the voice, the lyrics, the music of Joan. Her wonderfull feeling as the foods. So lol Relish is like a vitaly need (show me matter theresa feeling rise in me.

Every stone a story, like a rosary) LOVE

[MrWhisper9]

truly her best version of this song... i listen to this all of the time...

[moonrhapsody]

There IS a God...

[08zzzz08]

Can you imagine the atmosphere in that room? You'll never beat the Irish for a good auld session!! Joan Osborne has the most amazing voice, there's something so addictive about it.

[roxallanna]

Amazing woman and singer, amazing performance, great and very touching song! I'm a big fan of hers.

Greetings from Romania! :)

[Onlydreamin1959]

Such a dark, yet weet song. When Relish came out I couldn't get it out of my head. Still can't. As another poster mentioned, Joan Osborne is criminally underappeciated. I would add that her later efforts went largely ignored and were just as good. Not a hit from the CD, but it doesn't matter. There are those that obviously love her.

[maverick020]

yes relish is one of the best, deepest CD of the 1990s. the delivery is truely unique n sadly it has never replicated in popular music since then..

[austinitesince1979]

Great version.

[myrainface]

This is an awesome video for a great song. Question: one of my favourite things about St. Teresa is the berimbau-based introduction.  Does anyone know whether a live version exists that includes a berimbau? I'd love to see/hear it.

[truevine23]

I love her...When she first came out I ran to the msic store and bought her cd only hearing the One of us song and was not disappointed. Relish is a flawless cd and she is a modern day Janis Joplin.

[zegerman1942]

This has got to be one of the best songs ever. And Donal Lunny makes it even better.

[irishqueen]

Agreed!

[spicezz]

Fantastic,brilliant,awesome.

What a fusion.love it.Ta for posting.

Take it easy all.

[cd101284]

She is criminally underappreciated.

[nancycc]

thanks so much for posting this! wonderful. :)

[jeaniegomez]

I can't stop watching this ...thanks for the link mum! Absolutely fantastic singer, and exceptional collection of musicians! One more time for the cheap seats at the back...

[catalystbunni]

Joan is one of those artists that the older I get the more I appreciate.

[cd101284]

Oh my God! So true!!!!!!! I had Relish on cassette when I was in fifth grade and only listened to "One of Us." Twelve years later, I finally made it to the remainder of the album...beyond compare!!!!!!!!!

[GoldenFrog]

lol i was in 5th grade when Relish came out and I got it on cassette too. my mom and i would listen to it in the car everywhere we went. 12 and a half years later and i am still a huge fan with all of her albums in my collection.

[Jgerman]

wonderful. What a voice and the band is fantastic1
