JANIS JOPLIN : JANIS JOPLIN'S GREATEST HITS |
|
Label : Columbia Records Release Year : 1973 Length : 47:16 Review (Wikipedia) : Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits is a 1973 collection of hit songs by American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin, who died in 1970. Writing for Allmusic, Steve Huey called the collection "solid, if skimpy" and noted the inclusion of "Me and Bobby McGee", missing from other Joplin compilations. Review (AllMusic) : A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin's solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company. The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for those who only want one Janis Joplin disc, even if it isn't definitive. |
