BUT YOU KNOW
YOU GOT IT
IF IT MAKES YOU
FEEL GOOD
(OH, YES INDEED)
Janis Joplin
was one of the most
exhilarating performers
of an era blessed with
riveting stage artists,
but all but her most
emphatic champions
must concede her
recorded oeuvre
is problematic.
With
Big Brother & the Holding Company
she was surrounded by
up-from-the-streets cohorts
who were spiritually
attuned to Joplin,
even if they
weren't always
musically in tune.
After one rushed,
premature effort
for the
Mainstream label,
Big Brother hit
the top of the charts
with one of
the touchstones
of the
San Francisco sound,
Cheap Thrills .
Barraged by critics
who believed
Joplin's skills
as a
blues and soul singer
were being squandered
in a
psychedelic setting,
the toast of
Haight-Ashbury
went solo with
the up-and-down
I Got Them Ol'
Kozmic Blues Again, Mama .
Joplin was hitting her stride
during the 1970
Pearl sessions
when she died
of a drug overdose
at only age 27.
The album's
posthumous release
was a critical
and commercial smash.
Box of Pearls
binds the
1999 remastered
and expanded versions
of the aforementioned albums
and tosses in a
five-track rarities EP
entitled,
appropriately enough,
Rare Pearls.
