Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

This collection features Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company as well as live with the Kozmic Blues Band. There's also a tear-down-the walls version of Etta James's "Tell Mama" with Full Tilt Boogie, recorded live in Toronto. Other highlights include a studio recording of "One Night Stand" (produced by Todd Rundgren) and a marvelous rendition of Sam Andrews's poignant "Farewell Song," taken from a 1968 Winterland show. Ending the CD is Joplin's killer "Catch Me Daddy," taken from a Cheap Thrills session. The members of Big Brother dislike this album intensely, since the producer replaced the band's instrumentals with those of studio musicians. This is one of Joplin's most inspired studio vocals, and it would be interesting to hear the instrumental track that brought out such an incredible performance. --Myra Friedman

Customer Reviews

Great songs, passionately performed (2000-09-20)

This album features Janis with no less than 4 bands: Full Tilt Boogie, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Kozmic Blues Band. It's brilliant and highly enjoyable and I don't mind if 80s studio instruments are added! My favourite tracks are the powerful Magic Of Love, the heart-rending One Night Stand, the melancholy Farewell Song, the cheeky medley of Amazing Grace/Hi Heel Sneakers and the riveting Catch Me Daddy. I have no hesitation in placing this album on a par with Pearl, Kozmic Blues or Cheap Thrills. Great songs performed with passion!
