F**k!!!!!!!
I forgot Joan Osborn - How Sweet it is. KILLER record. She was in that documentary about the Funk Brothers (the rhythm section at Motown), and had so much fun singing those old soul songs that she did an album of (mostly) soul covers. Otis, Aretha, all sorts of shit. It also has a cover of the Band's "The Weight," a cover of "War," and probably the best Jimi Hendrix cover I have ever heard, "Axis: Bold as Love."
Buy this record. It was THE best record I bought last year, with the possible exception of Peter Gabriel's UP.
How the HELL did I forget that record.
By the way, Joan Osborn is one of the best singers around. If you are not familiar with her, do yourself a favor and become so.
I must be losing it.
