As much as I am (wuz?) a Big Brother, Janis snob purest, I think, I'm not too too sure yet, I might like this album better. What made it so great, wasn't just Joplin's mega voice, but the Kozmic Blues Band, especially the Otis Redding style horn section, which stole the show in my mind. We all associate Joplin as the San Fransisco psychedelic Queen but on this record she transformed herself into the White Lady of Soul!!!
