\u00a0<\/div>\n
When she digs into John Mayall\u2019s slow blues \u2018Broken Wings,\u2019 the emotional torrent obscured in the original is brought to the surface through her fiery vocals.” And No Depression<\/strong> marveled, \u201cJoan Osborne has a real hot record here. She has given the Blues a shot this time and, boy, it really works for her.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Even London\u2019s Daily Express<\/strong> newspaper weighed in, describing, \u201cHer voice is beautifully bluesy and wonderfully expressive while the music is soulful, sophisticated and slightly retro sounding, meaning the package reeks class as it moves between rowdy versions of songs such as \u2018Shoorah! Shoorah!\u2019 to deep soul versions of \u2018The Same Love That Made Me Laugh.\u2019\u201d\u201cJoan has been with us from the beginning, back when we first launched our Saguaro Road Record imprint,\u201d says Time Life \/ StarVista Senior VP Mike Jason, \u201cand we always wanted to capture the blues part of her live shows. She really nailed it on this album.\u201d<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
The collection is a fascinating and comprehensive view of one of the most important yet overlooked moments in Beatles history. Entertainment Weekly<\/strong> noted that the set \u201chints at the greatness to come\u201d while calling Harrison\u2019s \u201cCry For a Shadow\u201d one of its best tracks.<\/div>\n
