\n\n J oan Osborne's album 'Bring It On Home' just a received a Grammy nominati on!
\n\n Bring It on Home is a collection of vintage blues\, R&B and soul songs that make up the sevent h album from the Grammy-nominated\, multi-platinum artist. It’s an apt tit le—for Osborne\, Home marks a return to her musical roots. “I cut my teeth in New York blues clubs singing songs like this\,” she remembers. “I’d do three or four one-hour sets per night. That’s where I really learned to s ing.”
\n\n Despite her lo
ng history with the music\, it was only recently that the singer felt like
she was ready to put some of those standards on record. “There’s a textur
e and richness to these songs that singers don’t have right away\, that I
didn’t have when I started out\,” she says. “But the more I’ve done this\,
the more tone and depth I’ve developed. This was the time.”

The challenge for Osborne and her band mates (the same crew she uses in h
er live show) was to get the song selection right and bring something new
to the music. “I didn’t just want to take my set list from 20 years ago –
so that’s why most of these songs are ones I had sung never before\,” she
says. “And it’s a challenge to bring something to a recording that you al
ready know so well and love. The key is\, what can do you that’s different
but just as satisfying?”
