Description:
After the live Cheap Thrills, Pearl is undeniably Janis Joplin's studio classic, and her final recording, released posthumously. She
departed the earth at the very top of her game creatively. The album
was recorded with a less-is-more approach -- the explosive horn
section so prevalent on Kozmic Blues was replaced by a rootsier, more
organic studio group called the Full Tilt Boogie Band, with precious
few guests in a minimal number of places. The album cooks from the
opener, "Move Over," with John Till's jagged, knife-edge guitar
playing the lyric line in duet with Joplin and Ken Pearson's choogling
Hammond B-3 stomping on the chorus and the bridge. The emotional
intensity actually gets upped on "Cry Baby," where Pearson's organ
drives the track, raucously and passionately augmented by Till and
Richard Bell's soul cum honky tonk piano. The thing is, the album just
doesn't quit from "A Woman Left Lonely" to "Buried Alive in the Blues"
to "My Baby" and the closer, "Get It While You Can." The fact that
Pearl's most famous cuts, "Me and Bobby McGee" and "Mercedes Benz,"
are both here as well and were issued as the album's singles is simply
astonishing given they are far form its strongest cuts. On the double
-disc Legacy Edition of Pearl, some changes were made from earlier CD
versions of the album. For starters, the bonus live tracks included on
the 1999 version have been relegated to disc two. In their place, six
cuts have been added, including three cuts taken from the Love, Janis
box set: the demo of "Me and Bobby McGee," an alternate of "Cry Baby,"
and "Happy Birthday John (Happy Trails)." But there's more: three
unissued alternate takes of "Move Over," "My Baby," and Full Tilt
Boogie's instrumental tribute to Joplin called "Pearl." Disc two
contains 13 live cuts taken from three different concerts on the
Canadian Festival Express tour, recorded between June 28 and July 4,
1970. In addition to the bonus tracks moved from the original CD
version of Pearl and others taken from Janis Joplin in Concert and
Farewell Song are six more unreleased tunes, including awesome
versions of "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)," "Kozmic Blues," and
"Maybe." Oh yeah, there's yet another version of "Piece of My Heart"
(can't have too many). In sum, this new version of Pearl is a gold
mine, a treasure trove that juxtaposes the final will and testament of
Joplin with her throwing down live with the same band on the road in
electrifying performances. Add to this a wildly intimate and canny
essay by Joplin's road manager, John Byrne Cooke, and a wonderful set
of photos in a handsome package and you can safely assume that
perfection has been improved upon.
