Relish by Joan Osborne
Relish is an album by Joan Osborne, released in 1995. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 59 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “One of Us”, on 32 lists with a best position of #14.
Relish, Joan Osborne's debut album, came out on Mercury on March 21, 1995, with Rick Chertoff producing. Osborne is a singer who can move between rock, soul, blues and R&B without breaking stride, and the record gives that voice room to roam, earthy one minute and soaring the next.
The song that carried it was "One of Us", penned by Eric Bazilian, and it's still the one she's best known for, while "Right Hand Man" and "Ladder" hinted at the range behind it. The Grammys took notice in a big way: nominations for Album of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Osborne, plus Record and Song of the Year nods for "One of Us".
