Mock “One of Us” all you want, but Joan Osborne actually makes other songs, too, and some of those other songs are very good. When I was ten, I “borrowed” my dad’s copy of Relish (the album on which the infamous song was released originally). I usually skipped over “One Of Us”; I preferred the rest of the album (particularly “Pensacola”), which sounded more like a modge-podge of blues and country, to the poppy adult-contemporary sound that made her famous. Fortunately, after the one-hit wonder hubbub died off, Joan went back to making soulful roots music, which is what she’s best at.
