Joan Osborne shared the same circles and management as the Spin Doctors and can even be heard as a back up vocalist on Blues Traveler's debut. Although active since 1989, Osborne didn't release her debut album Relish until 1995 (although she did self-release a live album on her own record label Womanly Hips). The album went triple platinum in the United States on the coattails of her hit single "One of Us". The other songs on the album reflect Joan and her co-writers' influence of blues, country, gospel, and classic rock (with a debt to Janis Joplin). For a time, Joan Osborne sat at the top as one of the biggest singer-songwriters of the 90s.
Here is the discography surrounding Joan Osborne's debut album:
Soul Show: Live at Delta 88 (1991 live album)
