Janis JOPLIN I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama ! CD Review: Great - great item Best seller Review: To Love Somebody - I love this too often overlooked mid-period Janis album, and I love Janis. She had soul, wit, raunch, and bags of character, qualities denied to the majority of today's overhyped caterwaulers. This is generally a tad more restrained than her work with Big Brother & the Holding Co. What might arguably be lost in rawness is gained in sheer musicality. The soul and warmth of Janis's distinctive voice is still very much in evidence. The centrepiece is her tremendous re-imagining of arguably the best song the Bee Gees ever wrote, the much-covered To Love Somebody {Nina Simone did a superb version too}. You'd have to be a musical dunce to mess up such a gift of a song ~ the epitome of pop-soul ~ and she gives it her all. The final three songs {before the three very welcome extra tracks} are all wonderful: her own Kosmic Blues {a terrific song} followed by the moody Rodgers & Hart standard Little Girl Blue, and Work Me, Lord by Nick Gravenites. Janis sings her heart out on them, and I've got tears in my eyes just thinking about them. Make no mistake, this is as good an album as she ever made, and that's saying something. Still much missed. . . Great stuff!

One of the best girl singers of the 60s
It's Janis Joplin, one of the best girl singers of the 60s. She was terrific. It's a pity she died so young (27). Even to this day I still feel sad about the loss of this talented singer. The CD is good, I am more than satisfied with it and I enjoyed my first listen on the day I got it.

A posséder dans sa collection
Un album déjà ancien mais de grande qualité par les superbes interprétations de Janis Joplin. Bien que n'apparaissant pas sur les crédits de pochette, le guitariste qui intervient sur le morceau Maybe est Mike Bloomfield. Plus de 50 ans après, on ne se lasse pas d'écouter Janis.
