1001 Albums Summary

Janis Joplin can sing alright. And on this record you can hear the same loving obsession with black roots music that fueled much of '60s rock. One foot in traditional blues and the other kicking towards psyche. It's the classic rock blueprint, fresh off the press.

Sounds like three different bands.

Violet is her best song and she's retiring it. What's left?

There's a lot of what I like about outlaw country in here.

That second track rips. Makes sense that Prince covered it.

All over the place. Prefer the rockin' psych stuff to the '70s soft rock.

Already in my rotation lately. Fake Plastic Trees has risen in my estimation over the years.

I bet they liked Sparks.

Pretty good punk rock.

Heartfelt, earnest and somewhat naive. Still love it.

I must be getting old this is catchy AF and I didn't hate it.

I know this one by heart already.
