The stellar solo debut of Janis Joplin – fronting her own Kozmic Blues Band after the break from Big Brother! The raw emotion of her voice is as impressive as ever here – and there is more of a rockin' blues vibe here than on her earlier records – thanks the killer horn section in this new band. There's some stripped down numbers, too, giving this record a pretty balanced feel. A classic! Titles include "Try", "Maybe", "As Good As You've Been To This World", "Kozmic Blues", "To Love Somebody", "Little Girl Blue", and "One Good Man".

Looking further below the surface we're going to meet Nina Hagen, Kate Bush, Frank Zappa and Freddie Mercury. Avantgarde-soul resting on a singer songwriters bluesy bed. The band can perform on a pile of crushed piano if that's what you prefer!
