Janis Joplin I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!

180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl! Pressed at Pallas in Germany!
When Janis Joplin died in October 1970 at t he early age of 27, thus involuntarily confirming the beatnik adage "live fast, love hard, die young," it was only a matter of time before she was crowned the "Queen of Rock." Of greater importance than this posthumous entry into rock 'n' roll's hall of fame is the recognition during her lifetime of her explosive vocal style, which – so Vogue – "turned the whole history of singing upside down" (Vogue).
The discography reality of Janis Joplin is just as short and changeable as her life. After two LP releases with the rock-standard band Big Brother And The Holding Company, with whose excellent musical support they earned their first contract with Columbia in 1968, the company provided a formation enlarged with organ and brass. The aim was to expand the expression of her voice with blues and funk elements, which die-hard fans felt was a betrayal of the ideals of rock music. The old-world rock community took a more relaxed view, especially since Joplin toured Europe for two months with the Kozmic Blues Band. And for Woodstock fans who still have the fat brass sound of this band and the bluesy-soulful vocals in their ears, this album is a must anyway.
