About Janis Joplin - Janis Joplin - Greatest Hits

More than Cheap Thrills or even Pearl, Greatest Hits has helped keep Janis Joplin's short-lived recording career alive for listeners who came along after her 1970 death. "Me and Bobby McGee" is the biggest draw, of course--it was a posthumous No. 1 single--but the rest is equally exciting. Despite the familiarity of the titles here, this goes far beyond the merely serviceable. Finally, the cover photo of Janis smiling in a sunny park is as poignant a shot of her as exists. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com essential recording

I was too young to have appreicated her music when the album originally came out--how wonderful to be able to go back 40 years and catch-up. I now fully comprehend what older friends and have been raving about for so long. July 17, 2008

Joplin's version of Gershwin's " Summertime " is arguably one of the best song's ever recorded. The rest of the album is very good. She was one of a kind. January 8, 2008
