About this album

Janis Joplin’s Greatest Hits is a vital summary of one of rock’s most powerful and uncompromising voices. Issued in 1973, two years after her death, the compilation gathers the songs that defined her career with Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Kozmic Blues Band and Full Tilt Boogie, including Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby, Move Over and Me and Bobby McGee. The set highlights her feral emotional intensity, blues-rooted phrasing and ability to turn familiar material into something thrillingly immediate. As an introduction and a memorial, it remains one of the clearest entry points into Joplin’s brief but towering legacy.
