Review Pearl / Janis Joplin:Janis Joplin made the blues her own. Though she didn't live to finish this album before her 1970 death from a heroin overdose, her intense passion and frantic cries of pain and ecstasy were enough to make Pearl one of the most memorable recordings of her era. Her band does fill up some vinyl with the instrumental "Buried Alive in the Blues", but it's the vocals that make this album worth hearing these many decades later. Listen to the tortured heartbreak of "Cry Baby" or the hopeful declarations of Kris Kristoffersons "Me & Bobby McGee" and understand why Joplin remains an essential, if tragic, figure in pop. -Steve Appleford.

Review Life Love and the Blues / Etta James:Etta James followed her two deeply jazzy mid-1990s albums of torch songs with Love's Been Rough on Me, a flirtation with Nashville writers. On Life, Love & the Blues, she returns to her blues and soul repertoire, enlivening even the hoariest of tunes ("Spoonful", a gender-flopped "Hoochie Coochie Gal") with her growl. The tinges of funk underpinning "Born Under a Bad Sign" are given full room to stretch on a cover of Sly Stone's "If You Want Me to Stay", and James nearly swipes "The Love You Save May Be Your Own", one of Joe Tex's great preaching ballads, from the master. -Rickey Wright.
