Joplin, Janis
Little Girl Blue: Early California Sessions
One of the best-known rock singers of the 1960s, Janis Joplin made a lasting impact with a powerful mezzo-soprano voice and an electrifying stage presence, drawing on blues, country, and gospel. 'Little Girl Blue' gathers some of her earliest performances, dating from just after she ditched her native Texas for the San Francisco Bay Area; recorded at the Folk Theatre in San Jose and at SF's Coffee Gallery, the awesome power of her voice is already apparent on a cover of Ma Rainey's 'Leavin This Mornin' and 'Daddy Daddy Daddy,' the latter written with future Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen.
