New Joan Osborne Dylan Tour & album: Aacclaimed, Grammy-nominated artist Joan Osborne will be performing in Saratoga Springs on April 10th at Universal Preservation Hall (ticket info). Osborne is touring in support of her forthcoming album, Dylanology Live (out April 25th on Womanly Hips Records).
The recording features eight captivating performances of Bob Dylan songs chosen by Osborne, featuring special guests Amy Helm, Jackie Greene and Robert Randolph. Listen to Osborne’s re-imagined psychedelic-blues-infused rendition of “Highway 61 Revisited.”
In 2017, Joan Osborne released the critically acclaimed album, Songs of Bob Dylan. Her creative and deeply soulful renditions of select Dylan material was an eye-opening moment in a celebrated career. Eight years after the beloved studio recording, Osborne’s exhilarating live performances offer even more expansive and artistic interpretations that exude passion, emotion and energy. Songs include “Spanish Harlem Incident,” “Buckets Of Rain,” “Masters Of War,” “Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You,” and “High Water (For Charley Patton).”
Osborne has announced new tour dates and the first leg of the upcoming Dylanology Tour. The Dylanology dates will feature special guests Nicki Bluhm, Gail Ann Dorsey (David Bowie), Cindy Cashdollar (Bob Dylan, Van Morrison) and Anders Osborne.
Throughout her three-decade, multi-Grammy nominated career, Joan Osborne has never been an artist confined to one space. She has shared the stage with artists ranging from Stevie Wonder and Mavis Staples to Bob Dylan and Lucinda Williams, and she continues to seamlessly blend into any genre. Osborne’s incredible voice always shines through her own songs, while she has also become one of her generation’s finest interpreters. Dylanology Live is yet another testament to her artistic range. Highly recommended.
