Joan Osborne

Bring It On Home

For Bring It On Home, Osborne once more digs into the soul, blues, and R&B wellspring.

Co-producing with Jack Petruzzelli and using her road band, a horn section, and guests, she turns in the rawest, most kinetic moment in her recording career thus far.

The choice of material is stellar.

Ultimately, there isn’t a performance here that isn’t drenched with passion and a true stylist’s sense of invention.

This isn’t a reverential recording; it’s authoritative; she makes these songs her own. Bring It On Home carries Osborne’s mature voice in way that’s never been heard on her studio recordings, making it stand head and shoulders above them.

Etta James

The Dreamer

Apparently, Etta James’ musical career ends with The Dreamer.

The legendary vocalist announced a few months back that this would be her final album; she’s retiring from music in order to deal with serious medical issues.

Her musical accompanists include not only her co-producers, but guitarists Leo Nocentelli and Big Terry de Rouen, saxophonist Jimmy Z., trombonist Kraig Kilby, and trumpeter Lee Thornburg.

Her readings of Otis Redding’s “Cigarettes & Coffee” and “Champagne & Wine,” Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Dreamer,” Bob Montgomery’s country-pop standard “Misty Blue,” Ray Charles’ “In the Evening,” Johnny “Guitar” Watson’s “That’s the Chance You Take” and “Too Tired,” and Little Milton’s “Let Me Down Easy” all contain within them not only their original traces, but the musical experience necessary to bring their subtler, deeper meanings to the fore.

She re-creates these songs not as mere touchstones or mementos from a career, but as signposts to the living, breathing tradition that bears the signature and considerable influence of her life upon them.

Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings

Soul Time !

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have developed an international reputation as the No. 1 group on today’s soul scene.

Soul Time ! is an exploration of the full range of their dynamic sound through twelve songs hand picked by the Daptone Records gang, each one a precious exclusive.

Amy Winehouse

Lioness: Hidden Treasures

A collection of previously unreleased tracks, alternate versions of existing classics, as well as a couple of brand new Amy compositions.

Following her tragic passing, some of the producers and musicians who worked closely with Amy Winehouse, among them Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, spent time listening over the many recordings that Amy had made, before, during, and after the release of Frank and Back To Black.

It was said by all who worked with Amy that she never sang or played a song the same way twice. It quickly became apparent to Salaam and Mark that they had a collection of songs that deserved to be heard.
