Who Divided (live) - Joan Osborne

Featured on Joan's great 2006 album, Pretty Little Stranger. Intro by James Brown.

From Entertainment Weekly (by Beth Johnson): A-

Anyone familiar with Joan Osborne's riveting '95 breakthrough Relish (beyond its anomalous ''what if God was one of us'' pop smash) shouldn't be surprised that she's taken her bluesy roots-rock sensibility and driven it through Nashville with Pretty Little Stranger. What is a surprise is how seamlessly her own writing stands up next to gems from Kris Kristofferson and Rodney Crowell. We know Osborne can sing like Joplin, but here she mostly goes for a creamier country-soul sound (with assists from Alison Krauss and Vince Gill), and the result is terrific and timeless.

She's really good. (um, no, that's not right) She's downright great. (... still not it ...) To be honest, she's in my personal top ten. (um ...) Actually, ... my top 5. Well, atm, she's in my top 3. (except ...) i judge every other singer in comparison to Joan. (so ...) (well ...) I guess I have to admit that she's almost always completely in my personal top one. ... 19 times out of 20. ... which is really very good.

It's ok. More like a practice session. Always nice to see the process tho.
