| | Janis Joplin Farewell Song CD Janis Joplin Discography of CDs
Janis Joplin expressed the pain of her existence in every nuance of her voice, and FAREWELL SONG is a highly confessional testimony to her short, tragic life. It contains six songs from her stint with Big Brother and three recorded after she departed their company. The live and studio recordings capture all the bitchiness, pathos and generosity of Joplin's voice and spirit, as well as the taint of self-destruction and tragedy that seemed destined to dog her until her early demise. The collection richly portrays the abandon that propelled Joplin to both worldwide fame and premature self-immolation.
There's a bone-chilling version of the highly autobiographical "Misery'n" and the Todd Rundgren-produced "One Night Stand," the latter a portrait of the paranoia and confusion of the transient life of the star. Joplin's voice positively soars in this sadly revealing tune about the fleeting nature of love on the road. Also impressive are the vocally acrobatic "Catch Me Daddy" and the mournful title track. A goofy version of "Amazing Grace" is somewhat disappointing when one considers how Joplin could have wrapped her soulful voice around this spiritual hymn, but this collection is deeply satisfying in both its diversity and the intimacy of its autobiography.

Let's face it -- no matter how far he gets stylistically from his work with Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and he has gotten very far afield from it at times, Greg Lake's fandom is always going to be rooted in his work with the prog rock trio during the 1970s and its various ...

It seems reasonably clear that Chantal Kreviazuk was signed to C2 Records to be the label's answer to Atlantic's Tori Amos, Capitol's Meredith Brooks, Imago's Paula Cole, Arista's Sarah McLachlan, and Maverick's Alanis Morissette, a quirky female singer-songwriter with the potential to go platinum. Like McLachlan and Morissette, she's from Canada; like Amos and Cole, she plays piano; like all of them, she tends to write self-involved songs that are sometimes difficult to decipher. But it's not Kreviazuk's fault that she happens to fit into a current record company formula. In fact, though you could mistake her for any of the above mentioned artists now and then, she more closely resembles two earlier models, one of whom sold quite a few records in her day, and the other of whom is another Canadian: Her voice occasionally recalls that of Melanie; and her music, with its mixture of ponderous and pop passages, frequently brings to mind Jane Siberry. C2 has chosen "Before You" as the first single from Kreviazuk's second album (her first, 1997's Under These Rocks and Stones, got some kind notices but finished out of the money), and the label has picked correctly. "Before ...
