Music : Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits [VINYL]
Although Janis Joplin's genius shines through all of these tracks, the selection is inadequate. An album with a title like greatest hits needs to contain Combination Of The Two (from Cheap Thrills, with Big Brother and the Holding Company) and Joplin's version of the Bee Gees' To Love Somebody (from Kozmic Blues).

Luckily there are more comprehensive compilations available, and this album would do as an introduction to the Joplin novice. It contains the impressive acid rock onslaught of Piece Of My Heart, the original version of the timeless Me And Bobby McGee (a huge posthumous hit for her in 1971), the wrenching Maybe from Kozmic Blues and her popular novelty song Mercedes Benz.

Most of the tracks are from Pearl and ... Read More:

133.Time After Time by: Etta James

Prices subject to change.

Used Price: £2.46

No one can deny Etta James's legendary status as a queen of the blues, and here, in this 1995 recording, she still wails with the best. Surrounded by extraordinary musicians--especially the brilliant Cedar Walton on piano and Eddie Harris and Herman Riley on tenor sax--she turns standards into big, bold, assertive statements, capitalizing on her lower register (much lower than when she was younger). Full of passion, she proclaims her songs, as much as she sings them, using volume and her somewhat harsh voice, instead of sweetness and subtlety, to convey her messages.

"Don't Go to Strangers" is her joke. Often confused with Etta Jones, she begins the CD with Jones's most famous song, giving it her own style and interpretation. ... Read More:

Music : Young Alberta Hunter: The 20's and 30's
To those who know Alberta Hunter only through the sophisticated recordings she made with Jack Jackson in 1934, when she appeared in cabaret at the Dorchester Hotel, this compilation may come as something of a surprise, because she began her career singing the blues. Many of the sides in this compilation reflect that idiom, and with titles like "You Can't Tell The Difference After Dark" and "Send Me A Man" it's apparent that their content is suggestive. She's accompanied variously by Fletcher Henderson, solo and with his orchestra, a Eubie Blake group, Fats Waller, and most memoraby by the Red Onion Jazz Babies, featuring Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet.

Those sessions are sampled, but a 1939 date with a Charlie Shavers quartet is included ... Read More:
