Joplin’s greatest hits.
Amazon.com
More than Cheap Thrills or even Pearl, Greatest Hits has helped keep Janis Joplin’s short-lived recording career alive for listeners who came along after her 1970 death. “Me and Bobby McGee” is the biggest draw, of course–it was a posthumous No. 1 single–but the rest is equally exciting. Despite the familiarity of the titles here, this goes far beyond the merely serviceable. Finally, the cover photo of Janis smiling in a sunny park is as poignant a shot of her as exists. –Rickey Wright
