Pearl
Janis Joplin

Impressive stuff. Especially that voice. The band is quite gritty in its funkiness but can't quite match that power. I have played this record a couple of times today and, weirdly, none of the songs are particularly memorable? I just notice that voice doing powerful things and not much else. Apart from Mercedes Benz, which I never want to hear that again even though it's "a song of great social and political import". On the other hand, how is there an instrumental track on here?
