1001 Albums Summary

A fantastic breakup album because of how many different viewpoints we get. There’s an open of wild emotion that settles down to the end, which I’d say is generally how these things go. Great imagery, real emotion.

A great showcase of Janis Joplin’s abilities as a singer and her backing band’s ability to morph around her and uplift her sound. It’s a phenomenal and bittersweet final album from her cause it’s obvious how ready she was to keep going. Her singing on this album is half gospel and blues with a bit of country and what makes her stand apart from just having that sound is how she brings her feelings into it.

It’s okay. I’m gonna be honest way before doing this challenge I dove a bit into The Doors so all I can really say is that I just think their stuff after Strange Times is okay at best just due to how much they stick with the plain blues formula when Morrison has already made it obvious by the first two Doors albums that he can write some interesting stuff but eh. It’s just going through the motions.
