My Thoughts:
This is our first example of why you should never do drugs, kids. This album includes half the songs that are on Janis' greatest hits albums. She never saw the success of it because she died of a heroin overdose before it was released. She was only 27. I love Janis and this album because she is a hard core rock chick in a world that was completely dominated by men. And she was awesome at it, despite the odds against her.
Reminds me of: Lost potential. Junior year of high school.
Random Fact:
"Mercedes Benz" was recorded once and not considered complete and there are no vocals on "Buried Alive in the Blues" because they were going to be recorded on the day after she died. Her other last recording was a birthday wish to John Lennon.
