Great Blue-rock and Hard Rock from one of the giants of 60's rock Dec 04, 2006
A very good sample of Janis Joplin and her amazing melodic combinations and blues rock. These are some of Joplin's best known and best loved works.
Some of my personal favourites include the charismatic blues Piece Of My Heart , the breezy Summertime , the contemplative Try (Just A Little Bit Harder), the hard rock Down On Me and Ball and Chain and the folk-style Me and Bobby McGee . Janis Joplin played an important role in the evolution of rock.

A Piece of our Hearts Aug 28, 1999
This review is based on a budget-priced CD, "Highlights" issued by Pickwick several years ago, but its contents should not be significantly different from other compilations.I "discovered" Janis Joplin courtesy of this disc, buying it more out of curiosity than as a knowledgeable record buyer. However what I heard floored me. Her interpretive skills on "Summertime", where the band lays down a strong rhythmic backbeat against her more melodic phrasing is one highlight, while Big Mama Thornton's blues standard "Ball and Chain" is essential Joplin, as she soars, sweats and gasps through to the final climactic guitar lick. The more accessible tracks, eg "Piece of my Heart", "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Move Over" deservedly earn a place in any Joplin compilation, but it's the unheralded riches which are breathtaking. An amazing talent lamentably cut short.
