Janis Joplin - 1971 - Pearl (2012 HDtracks) [FLAC@96khz24bit]  Janis Joplin  Janis Joplin in 1969 Wikipedia: Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer considered the premier female blues vocalist of the Sixties; her raw, powerful and uninhibited singing style, combined with her turbulent and emotional lifestyle, made her one of the biggest female stars in her lifetime. She died of a drug overdose in 1970 after releasing only four albums. Joplin rose to fame in 1967 during an appearance at Monterey Pop Festival while the lead singer of the then unknown San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company. After two albums with the band, she left them to continue as a solo artist with her own backing groups, first the Kozmic Blues Band and the Full Tilt Boogie Band. She appeared at Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour. Five singles by Joplin went into the Billboard Top 100, including "Me and Bobby McGee" which reached number 1 in March 1971; her most popular songs include "Piece of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Down on Me", "Ball 'n' Chain", "Summertime", and "Mercedes Benz" the final song she recorded. Joplin was well known for her performing ability. Audiences and critics both referred to her stage presence as "electric". Rolling Stone ranked Joplin number 46 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time in 2004 and number 28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Joplin remains one of the top-selling musicians in the United States, with Recording Industry Association of America certifications of 15.5 million albums sold in the USA. Pearl (2012 HDtracks)  Artist: Janis Joplin Title: Pearl Producer: Paul A. Rothchild Format: 10 × File, FLAC, Album, Remastered, 24bit 96kHz (HDtracks) Release Date: January 11, 1971, (2012) Recorded: September 5 - October 3, 1970 at Sunset Sound Recorders, Hollywood, California Label: Columbia/Legacy Genre: Blues Rock, Soul Blues, Psychedelic Rock, Funk Rock Duration: 30:54 Website: http://www.hdtracks.com/pearl?format=FLAC Wikipedia: Pearl is the second and final solo studio album by Janis Joplin, released posthumously on Columbia Records, catalogue KC 30322, in January 1971. It was also released simultaneously in a 4 channel Quadraphonic format in the U.S., catalogue number CQ 30322, and in Japan as SOPN 90 and a foil type cover with obi as SOPN 44005. It was the final album with her direct participation, and the only Joplin album recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band, her final touring unit. It peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, holding that spot for nine weeks. It has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA. The album has a more polished feel than the albums she recorded with Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band due to the expertise of producer Paul A. Rothchild and her new backing musicians. Rothchild was best known as the recording studio producer of The Doors, and worked well with Joplin, calling her a producer's dream. Together they were able to craft an album that showcased her extraordinary vocal talents. They used Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles. All nine tracks that she sings on were personally approved and arranged by Joplin. Pearl features the number one hit "Me and Bobby McGee", on which she played acoustic guitar, written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster; "Trust Me", by Bobby Womack, written for Joplin; Howard Tate's "Get It While You Can", showcasing her vocal range; and the original songs "Move Over" and "Mercedes Benz", the latter co-written by Joplin, Bobby Neuwirth and Michael McClure. Joplin sang on all tracks except "Buried Alive in the Blues", which remained a Full Tilt Boogie instrumental because she died before adding vocals, but she approved the instrumental track. The recording sessions, starting in early September, ended with Joplin's untimely death on October 4, 1970. Her final session, which took place on Thursday, October 1 after a break of several days, yielded her a cappella "Mercedes Benz." It was the last song she recorded before her death. The album cover, photographed by Barry Feinstein in Los Angeles, shows Joplin reclining on her Victorian era loveseat with a drink in her hand. AllMusic Review by Steve Huey: Janis Joplin's second masterpiece (after Cheap Thrills), Pearl was designed as a showcase for her powerhouse vocals, stripping down the arrangements that had often previously cluttered her music or threatened to drown her out. Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark rasp conveys an aching, desperate passion on funked-up, bluesy rockers, ballads both dramatic and tender, and her signature song, the posthumous number one hit "Me and Bobby McGee." The unfinished "Buried Alive in the Blues" features no Joplin vocals -- she was scheduled to record them on the day after she was found dead. Its incompleteness mirrors Joplin's career: Pearl's power leaves the listener to wonder what else Joplin could have accomplished, but few artists could ask for a better final statement.  01 - Move Over - 3:39 02 - Cry Baby - 3:56 03 - A Woman Left Lonely - 3:27 04 - Half Moon - 3:51 05 - Buried Alive In The Blues - 2:24 06 - My Baby - 3:44 07 - Me And Bobby McGee - 4:29 08 - Mercedes Benz - 1:46 09 - Trust Me - 3:15 10 - Get It While You Can - 3:23 Personnel: Janis Joplin – vocals, guitar on "Me and Bobby McGee" Richard Bell – piano Ken Pearson – organ John Till – electric guitar Brad Campbell – bass guitar Clark Pierson – drums Additional Personnel: Bobby Womack – acoustic guitar on "Trust Me" Bobbye Hall – conga, percussion Phil Badella, John Cooke, Vince Mitchell – backing vocals Sandra Crouch – tambourine    ♪♬♫ ENJOY! ♪♬♫ Sharing Widget |
