Osborne self-produced the new collection and penned all ten songs, with two co-writes. Trouble \u0026amp; Strife finds the gifted vocalist offering a strong yet uplifting response to some of the socio-political issues plaguing our nation over the last several years. Osborne beautifully balances the weight of her messages with solace and optimism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe album opens with the inspiring “Take It Anyway That I Can Get”, a soulful calling to brazenly live life to the fullest.  “Hand’s Off” is a visceral reaction to the unchecked corruption that is happening before our eyes, while on “That Was A Lie” Osborne takes on the acceptance of misinformation and how it has been weaponized and normalized. Driven by an infectious 1970’s synth riff, “Never Get Tired (Of Loving You)” features a heartfelt message of reassurance for her teenaged daughter during unstable times. Osborne offers a comforting song of hope on the beautiful lullaby, ”Whole Wide World” as she sings, “We could see the whole wide world from here, Lookin’ past the sorrow and the tears, Let me take you to that better place, Let me put that smile back on your face.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn one of the album’s most important songs, “What’s That You Say” Osborne focuses on immigration and the plight of Ana Marie Rea.  Rea spoke in-depth with Osborne about and the difficulties she and her family faced when coming to America from Mexico seeking asylum, and the challenges since. Rea’s words can be heard throughout the powerful song, spoken in her native tongue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThroughout her 25-year, multi-Grammy nominated career, Joan Osborne has never been an artist confined to one space. She has utilized her incredible voice through her own songs while also becoming one of her generation’s finest interpreters. Osborne has shared the stage with artists ranging from Stevie Wonder and Mavis Staples to Bob Dylan and Lucinda Williams and she continues to seamlessly blend into any genre. On Trouble \u0026amp; Strife, her tenth studio album, the need for her voice and words has never been stronger.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake It Any Way I Can Get It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's That You Say\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever Get Tired (Of Loving You)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble and Strife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole Wide World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeat and Potatoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoy Dontcha Know\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat Was a Lie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePanama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 787790450580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Womanly Hips Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.18.20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53234767397024,"sku":"787790450580","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/3843461-2619081.jpg?v=1770368380","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/joan-osborne-trouble-and-strife-lp","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
