Janis Joplin expanded editions released
(Launch) - This week five expanded editions of Janis Joplin albums
will arrive in stores - "Big Brother & The Holding Company," "Cheap
Thrills," "I Got Dem Ol' Kosmic Blues Again Mama!," "Pearl" and
"Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits." Author Alice Echols, who wrote "Scars
of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin," said that
there hasn't been and there isn't any singer like Joplin around, and
it's only now that she's starting to get recognition from those who
followed in her footsteps. "Janis' voice is not a middle-of-the-road
kind of voice. I mean she's hard to listen to. She demanded a lot of
herself and she demanded a lot of the audience. But I do think it's
changing, with people like Joan Osborne and with old timers, veterans
like Stevie Nicks and Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth really beginning to
cite her."
