iTunes Review
When Janis Joplin died during the early '70s sessions for Pearl, there was no vocal on "Buried Alive in the Blues"; the instrumental track was included on the posthumous album as something like a moment of silence. The tragedy of the singer's lost life was doubled by the absence of an artist sensing a new power in herself. More controlled than the psychedelic blues of Cheap Thrills, thanks to her new Full Tilt Boogie Band, Pearl was nonetheless awash in what made Joplin great. Even if she had lived, her elegiac "Me and Bobby McGee" and a cover of Howard Tate's wise soul ballad "Get It While You Can" would have carried huge emotional resonance. Without her, even the jokey a cappella "Mercedes Benz" stung. "Pearl" was one grand lady, as this album continues to remind us.

Everything your high school voice teacher told you not to do when you sing
by stillravenmadShe projects from her throat. She screetches. Her sings through her nose. She belts out the words. This should not work. Yet, Janis makes it work.
10% of it is the music, and 90% of it is the emotion she puts into it. As a listener, it is very difficult not to get into it when you hear how much she puts into it.
LOL!!!!
by Glambert Girl :)This has to be the worst album ever! Crybaby (live) and Mercedes Benz are probably the worst songs I've ever heard in my life. I just sit there and laugh my head off every time I hear 'em. Buy......but don't buy.....Terrible....but worth a laugh.
