Product Description

From Amazon.com

A host of contradictions--the insufficiency of her collaborators, the spectacular potential of her voice, the inconsistency of her efforts--have left Joplin's historical legacy a tangled mess. The new 3 CD box set, Janis, captures that mess in all its glory but does little to untangle it. Typical of compiler Bob Irwin's decisions was his choice to replace the familiar version of George Gershwin's "Summertime" from the "Cheap Thrills" album by a weaker but unreleased alternate take. There are too many examples of strangled singing by Joplin's male partners in Big Brother and not enough examples of her incendiary live performances. The album begins with Joplin's first-ever recording, a vocal-and-autoharp version of "What Good Can Drinkin' Do" taped in a friend's living room in Austin in '62. That's followed by two unreleased blues recorded with guitarist Jorma Kaukonen in a San Francisco living room in '65 and eight songs from the controversial (and hard-to-find) 1966 debut album, "Big Brother & the Holding Company." "Cheap Thrills" is represented by five cuts, four outtakes and one live version; "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!" is represented by seven cuts, one outtake and two live versions; and "Pearl" by eight cuts and three outtakes. Other rarities include a longer spoken introduction to "Mercedes Benz" and two live performances on "The Ed Sullivan Show."

The 48-page booklet features nude photos of Joplin on the outside and feminist essays about her on the inside. Ellen Willis compares Joplin's self-created image to Madonna's, ignoring the crucial fact that Joplin was a brilliant singer while Madonna is hardly any kind of singer at all. Ann Powers addresses the music itself and correctly points out that Joplin's art was not merely unmediated emotion but a premeditated mix of gambles and craft, of Bessie Smith's open-throated wails and Otis Redding's gruff shouts. She was some kind of singer, and that's what she should be remembered for. --Geoffrey Himes

4.0 out of 5 stars 最強のロックヴォーカリストの歌声を是非!, 2003/3/17
By お散歩日和 (tokyo Japan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
ロックヴォーカリストとしてJanisに近づいた女性は数多いと思うけど、彼女に並んだ者はいまだ皆無と思います。デビュー直後からその力強く、emotionalな歌声が全米の話題となり、ライブ仕立てで完成させた"Cheap Thrills"がいきなりメガヒット。Freakyで荒削りなBig Brotherをバックにグイグイ押すパワフルな楽曲は、今も新鮮で強烈です。大成功の翌年、JanisはOtis Redding、Billy Holidayへの憧れからblack bluesに傾倒し、テクニックに若干難のあるBig Brotherから独立、blues/Jazz系のハンドマンを集め、隠れた名作"Kozmic Blues"を吹き込む。そして更に自らのwhite blues spiritを独自のタイトなロックに昇華させた遺作、"Pearl"を完成させます。

Texasに生まれた彼女の音楽活動は、カレッジバンドで歌ったcountryに始まっています。Disc-1では、当時TexasのPubで歌ったであろう楽曲も丁寧にピックアップしながら進み、Janisの名を全米に轟かせた"Ball and chain"までを収録。
Disc-2では"Cheap Thrills"前後から"Kozmic blues"の頃まで('67~'69)を選曲。ここでも未発表音源が随所に収録され聴き応え十分。
Disc-3はcountry flavorを思い起こすかのように和やかに歌うNo.1ヒット" Me and Bobby McGee "(Janisの弾き語り!の別テイク)で始まり、"Pearl"からの選曲が中心ですが、"Cry baby"はラップ調の語り入りextended versionだったりして、originalをお持ちの方にも貴重な音源満載です。
