5.0 out of 5 stars
Precious Pearl plus 4 live tracks,
By
This review is from: Pearl (Spkg) (Audio CD)
Nothing has gone stale about Joplin and her band on the all-time classic Pearl. After all these years, it remains a magnificent listening experience because of the quality of the songs, the band's tight playing and the impressive emotional range of Joplin's vocals.Unlike Cheap Thrills, where there was mostly a cosmic battle between Joplin's voice and Big Brother's heavy metal onslaught, here the voice is the star. My favorites on an album of classics include the poignant Me and Bobby McGee, the tender A Woman Left Lonely, the edgy Half Moon, the emotional Cry Baby, the buoyant Get It While You Can and the plaintive/humorous Mercedes Benz. Perfect arrangements, brilliant playing and masterly vocalization combine here to create a rock masterpiece. Of the four extra live tracks, I find Tell Mama and Cry Baby the most impressive. These live performances make a valuable contribution to Pearl as they add the wild raucous energy of Janis live, something to experience. I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again, Mama Cheap Thrills |
