CD Reviews

Blues and soul masterpiece

Pieter | Johannesburg | 03/12/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Kozmic Blues, Joplin's debut after leaving Big Brother, may perhaps be described as a glorious marriage of blues and soul. Don't be mislead by the original psychedelic album cover - this is not the acid-rock Janis. She turns the Bee Gees' To Love Somebody into a wrenching torch song, an at times restrained, at times desperate, but always brilliant rendition.

The arrangements impress throughout, especially in the complex and moving As Good As You've Been and Kozmic Blues. Another favorite is Maybe, where she out-souls Aretha Franklin. It may not be as accessible as Pearl, but Kozmic Blues nevertheless amply rewards the listener and reveals another aspect of this mistress of the desperation blues.
