专辑介绍

Joplin单飞后发行的第一张个人专辑，和在之前和 Big Brother录制的 Cheap Thrills 专辑相比,算不上是一张上乘之作。

专辑中的Joplin转向了soul-rock的风格，让一些歌迷略感失望。在脱离当时特定背景的今天来听这张专辑,虽然顺耳了，但仍有瑕疵，许多歌曲是后来听到Joplin现场充满激情的演唱才感觉有几份味道的，仅仅收录了8首歌的专辑中原创歌曲着实不多，翻唱的曲目也有几份奇怪，特别是翻唱the Bee Gees的 "To Love Somebody." 不过话说回来，专辑中?quot;Try"倒是Janis Joplin所有soul风格的歌曲中最好的一首，对Rodgers-Hart所写的那首"Little Girl Blue" 诠释也好象有如神助。专辑在1999年得以重新发行，并增添了三首bonus tracks: 一首翻唱Bob Dylan的 "Dear Landlord" 选自the Kozmic Blues的演出，以前收录在Janis的 box set里，一首是 "Summertime" 的从未发行过的版本，还有来自Woodstock音乐节上的一曲"Piece of My Heart" 。

Janis Joplin's solo debut was a letdown at the time of release, suffering in comparison with Big Brother's Cheap Thrills from the previous year, and shifting her style toward soul-rock in a way that disappointed some fans. Removed from that context, it sounds better today, though it's still flawed. Fronting the short-lived Kozmic Blues Band, the arrangements are horn heavy and the material soulful and bluesy. The band sounds a little stiff, though, and although Joplin's singing is good, she would sound more electrifying on various live versions of some of the songs that have come out over the years. The shortage of quality original compositions -- indeed, there are only eight tracks total on the album -- didn't help either, and the cover selections were erratic, particularly the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody." On the other hand, "Try" is one of her best soul outings, and the reading of Rodgers & Hart's "Little Girl Blue" is inspired. The 1999 CD reissue adds three bonus tracks: a cover of Bob Dylan's "Dear Landlord" from the Kozmic Blues sessions that was first heard on the Janis box set, and previously unreleased versions of "Summertime" and "Piece of My Heart" from the Woodstock Festival. "Summertime" is okay, but this "Piece of My Heart" really pales next to the Big Brother interpretation.
