Description
Multi-platinum singer and songwriter, Joan Osborne announces the release of her ninth studio album, Songs of Bob Dylan, set for release on September 1st, 2017. On Songs of Bob Dylan Joan Osborne unleashes her sizable gifts as a vocalist and interpreter upon Dylan’s celebrated canon with performances honed by Osborne’s time spent performing “Joan Osborne Sings The Songs Of Bob Dylan,” two critically acclaimed two-week residencies at New York City’s Café Carlyle in March 2016 and 2017.

Unconstrained by any notion of trying to imitate or surpass Dylan, Osborne felt free to play with the songs’ arrangements, a process that was also enabled by the virtuosity of Osborne’s collaborators, guitarist Jack Petruzzelli (Patti Smith, The Fab Faux) and keyboardist Keith Cotton (Idina Menzel, Chris Cornell), who performed with her at Café Carlyle, and with whom she co-produced the album.

The album spans Dylan’s beloved standards from the ’60s and ’70s (“Masters of War,” “Highway 61 Revisited,” “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35,” “Buckets of Rain,” “Tangled Up In Blue”) to some of Osborne’s favorites from his later albums, including “Dark Eyes” (from 1985’s Empire Burlesque), “Ring Them Bells” (from 1989’s Oh Mercy), “Tryin’ To Get To Heaven” (from 1997’s Time Out of Mind), and “High Water” (from 2001’s Love and Theft).

Tracklist
1. Tangled Up In Blue
2. Rainy Day Women #12 & #35
3. Buckets Of Rain

This could be good. I'm not familiar with the "collaborators". A little surprised she didn't ask the remaining "Dead" band members to play on this.

She's one hell of a singer. When she has good material, it's magic. This could be pretty great.

I like Osborne, and I like the song, but I don't like the tempo of this version. Too fast.
I don't think that tempo works for these lyrics.

I agree...a tad fast, but nice vocals and playing.

There seem to be a lot of albums of Dylan interpretations lately: Old Crow Medicine Show's take on "Blonde on Blonde" and Willie Niles' "Positively Bob" collection.

Ark, thanks. It appears $35 is the minimum price of entry for the ep. I hope I missed something, but that's out of my neighborhood.
