Joan Osborne - How Sweet It IsThis could be Osborne’s year. The singer, best known for the 1995 hit “One of Us,” is releasing a new album on her own record label and is launching a Lilith Fair-style women’s music festival. She is also recording a tribute album for Sister Rosetta Tharpe and is making her film debut in the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown.  Her label and festival will each be called Womanly Hips, as in “all good things come from womanly hips.” She promises “joyful music for these disturbing times.”
