Janis Joplin - Love Janis

Rock and roll's first female superstar, Janis Joplin showed that women could be rock singers. she is remembered as the best white blues singer of the 1960s. Famous for her incendiary stage performances, her masochistic tango with the bottle, her tumultuous love life, and her fatal dalliance with drugs, her musical legacy is also a part of Austin's history – how the disheveled folkie/UT student playing at west campus hootenannies and Kenneth Threadgill's bar on North Lamar took off for San Francisco with some other Texans in the Sixties and changed the history of rock & roll.

Love, Janis - Album review
This companion album to the hit musical features spoken word excerpts of Joplin's letters home to her family, read by the cast member playing the troubled, deceased star. Thankfully, it's Joplin herself singing all the familiar tunes. "Piece of My Heart," "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)," and "Me and Bobby McGee" are all dusted off once again for yet one more repackaged spin. Any of the existing Janis compilations serve the material better. ~ Michael Gallucci, All Music Guide
