A good buy for Janis Joplin fans - however some tracks are more memorable than others. Overall, worth buying.
My favourite tracks are Cry Baby and Me and Bobby McGee.Its a really powerful soulful album.I love the bonus track included Mercedes Benz. Summertime i love because it has a raw sound to it like ive never heard before. I like the fact that she talks in some of the songs to an audiance like Ball and chain and Mercedes Benz.I bought this Album because i recently watched a documentry about Woodstock and was reminded how great Jani Joplins music is ,So wanted to her more of it.
I only recently purchased this album on the back of hearing JJ on a tv program about women in music who died early. It's a great album if you don't really know much of her work, and most tracks are recognisable (the Mercedes Benz song was used in a TV ad!) The raw emotion - joy, pain, hurt...whatever - in JJs voice alternately rips your heart out, or makes it sing - an amazing collection of songs by an amazing voice. Buy it immediately!
I purchased this album because its been remastered and sounds briliant on the modern hifi,the older unmastered discs dont convey the music as clearly and Janis Joplin,s voice is unusual to say the least and its perfectly reproduced on this album,You must buy this album if your a fan of JANIS .I for one am very pleased to sit back and listen to this near perfect album,
