I took a chance on this CD because I have been looking for a raw non-studio effort by Joplin & The Holding Company rendition of 'Cry Baby','Piece of my Heart' & 'Me and Bobby McGee' and I found just what I was looking for with this CD. This is Joplin as I remember her back in the seventies when she really sung her heart out & made the songs stick inside yer' head. Lots of emotion here if you like that bluesy,gritty beltin' out a song type stuff.
This is a classic, very well balanced and a great collection of JANIS JOPLIN songs. The instrumentation is excellent, the song structure is perfect, the lyrics are very spacey and make one think and the vocals from Janis are just plain great.
Verified purchase: No
love Janis Joplin so was good in her time. Sorry to say wonder how good she would have been without drugs and how for she could have gone is she hadn't died so early in life. So sad we lose greats so early.
