  4. Lizziegreeneyes says I am on the J to the Osborne fence - this is one I would listen to again, it's a great cover !!! _One of Us_ got way too much airplay round these parts & I lean more toward Alana Davis for that sound. Dunno why, this is a great song Blair !!!

  5. Dale says If you ask Art Brut, they get drunk for six weeks, then back where they started. I doubt that's the same answer Ms. Osborne provides.

  6. Mike the Knife says Never liked "the hit" (with its quasi-religious text and addled logic) - but always liked her onstage presence and her voice. She sat next to me at a film premiere in NYC some time ago, and was pleasant and polite. (That counts for something...)

  8. jameson says beautiful. I've seen Joan in the last couple of years with Phil Lesh and Friends. She did a great job with the tunes, and also sang a couple of Ryan Adams songs taboot. What blog post DOESN'T circle back around to Mr. Adams?
