Information AboutPearl (album) |
''Pearl'' is an Album by Janis Joplin , released in January 1971 just four months after her death from a Heroin overdose. It is her fourth album and the only album she recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band . The album has a more polished feel than the albums she recorded with Big Brother And The Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band thanks to the expertise of producer Paul L. Rothschild and her new backing musicians. Rothschild was best known as the producer of The Doors , and worked well with Joplin. Together they were able to craft an album that showcased her extraordinary vocal talents. The Full Tilt Boogie Band were the musicians who accompanied her on the famous Festival Express in the summer of 1970, and many of the songs on this album were introduced on the concert stage in Canada . ''Pearl'' features the hits " Me And Bobby McGee ," written by Kris Kristofferson , her lover at the time, and " Move Over ," which she penned herself. Joplin sings on all of the tracks except for " Buried Alive In The Blues ," which remained an Instrumental because Janis never got a chance to add her vocal. The recording sessions extended from early September to early October 1970. TRACK LISTING
