Free Music Review: Janis Returns
Hit: 5 Stars
After the # 1 smash psychedelic thrillride of Cheap Thrills,Janis alongst with former bandmate Sam Andrew regroups for her first and only solo outing.It is an album that shows offthe former Port Arthur ugly ducklings roots and influences.Combining the blues influences of Bessie Smith and Oddetta,alongst with the soul of Otis & Aretha,and the finesse of Tina Turner amongst others,Janis did'nt just merely imitate.
She recreated and made them her own,alongst with others turning on generations of white folk to this uniquely american form of music.
Recorded over a scant period of less than two weeks the record contains several show stopping pieces.The tenderness of Little Girl Blue that attests to both her timelessness and greatness as a singer(aswell as being her favourite recording of herself),the rawness of Work Me Lord,the driving force of Try,and a couple pieces that showed her growth as songwriter in a period of time when woman were just starting to emerge as such.
Written after seeing her producer noodling away at the piano after a night at the bar,the title track could also be seen as her signature song,addressing just one to many relationships that fell through in a bad way.It barely cracked the top 40,and to this day is not only the name of not only my favourite song and album by her,but also amongst my favourite top five rock songs of all time.
One Good Man is a classic lonely girl blues,and maybe a 50's Chantels cover Janis adds a another level to on her recording.
This release also contains a couple good sloppy performances from Woodstock and an additional knock out Dylan cover of Dear Landlord from the 3-cd set.Stay tuned after the final track for an additional gag as you hear a radio spot from the 60's promoting the album.Cracks me up every time.B.B. King called her a superstar,she was all that and more including one of a kind and possibly one of the most influential musical artists of the 20th century.But don't take my word on it,listen for yourself.
I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again, Mama Poster
This underrated 1969 recording was Janis Joplin's first solo studio album after she left Big Brother & the Holding Company. One objection at the time of its release centered on the horn section, which Big Brother loyalists were determined to hate to death. Moreover, the aggregate of musicians backing Joplin--she named the band Kozmic Blues--never solidified as a group, even after earning a warm response on a European tour that spring. There was considerable turnover among the players pulled in for the sessions and considerable discontent as well. Producer Gabriel Mekler would have gladly dumped the band entirely. The best tracks on the album resulted from a single session in June 1969: a supremely delivered rendition of "One Good Man" (with the great Mike Bloomfield on guitar), and, above all, "Little Girl Blue." The Rodgers and Hart estates, however, absolutely loathed Joplin's version of the song, as did a gaggle of older musicians. Joplin changed the words somewhat and made a magnificent tearjerker out of a song that was first performed by Doris Day. This reissue fleshes out the original eight-song collection with a studio outtake of Bob Dylan's "Dear Landlord" and live versions of "Summertime" and "Piece of My Heart" from Joplin's Woodstock appearance. --Myra FriedmanClassic Rock Music CDs
