Relish is the debut album by Joan Osborne, released on March 21, 1995. It was nominated for Album of the Year at the 38th Grammys, and also earned nominations for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Osborne. In addition, the track "One of Us" was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Relish is a mixture of raw styles of contemporary folk, rock, and sometimes pop-rock sounds.
Its biggest hit single, "One of Us", was used as the theme to the 2003-2005 television series Joan of Arcadia, although the show used a re-recorded version rather than the original version. The album and the song were both nominated for multiple Grammy Awards in 1996. The song was written by Eric Bazilian of the Hooters.
"Man in the Long Black Coat" is a cover of the Bob Dylan song from his 1989 album Oh Mercy.
The final track, "Lumina", was used on the first episode of the HBO's hit show The Sopranos. It was also used in an episode in the 4th series of the CBS hit show "The Good Wife" in 2013.
All songs written by Joan Osborne, Eric Bazilian, Rob Hyman and Rick Chertoff unless otherwise indicated.
