Janis Joplin - Greatest Hits - Official Album (1973) psychedelic rock, soul, blues, blues rock


Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits is a 1973 collection of hit songs by American singer-songwriter Janis Joplin, who died in 1970. It features live versions of Down On Me and Ball and Chain which were included on the In Concert album the previous year.






Janis Lyn Joplin (January 19, 1943 – October 4, 1970) was an American singer-songwriter who sang rock, soul and blues music. One of the most successful and widely known rock stars of her era, she was noted for her powerful mezzo-soprano vocals and "electric" stage presence.

In 1967, Joplin rose to fame following an appearance at Monterey Pop Festival, where she was the lead singer of the then little-known San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company. After releasing two albums with the band, she left Big Brother to continue as a solo artist with her own backing groups, first the Kozmic Blues Band and then the Full Tilt Boogie Band. She appeared at the Woodstock festival and on the Festival Express train tour. Five singles by Joplin reached the Billboard Hot 100, including a cover of the Kris Kristofferson song "Me and Bobby McGee", which reached number one in March 1971. Her most popular songs include her cover versions of "Piece of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Down on Me", "Ball and Chain", and "Summertime"; and her original song "Mercedes Benz", her final recording.

Joplin died of an accidental heroin overdose in 1970 aged 27, after releasing three albums (two with Big Brother and the Holding Company, and one solo album). A second solo album, Pearl, was released in January 1971, just over three months after her death. It reached number one on the Billboard charts. She was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. Rolling Stone ranked Joplin number 46 on its 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and number 28 on its 2008 list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. She remains one of the top-selling musicians in the United States, with Recording Industry Association of America certifications of 18.5 million albums sold.

  Љубичасти крак светлости сваке ништавности у нама  Кратке приче већ дуго привлаче посену пажњу читалаца, а када се у њима нађу модерни елементи, онда њихова вредност још више расте јер у себи садрже многоројне истине које се са филозофском тежином најбоље памте и прихватају као огледало нас самих. Зато је за свакога ко у краткој, сапетој форми воли понирање у подсвест, збивања кроз репродукцију човекове свести, дефабулативност, суочавање са сопственим несавршеностима и трагање за животним смислом, најбољи избор зирка кратких прича Спонтано саоревање, Себастиана Саве Гора, јер је ово дело најбољи доказ да надреализам проткан апсурдом и парадоксом још увек итекако живи на нашој литерарној сцени.  У 72 приче, колико се сакупило у три дела ове зирке, дато је можда једно од најтурбулентнијих путовања у човекову подсвест у последње време у домаћој књижевности. Након, како нам се аутор сам поверио у уводу, двогодишњег упознавања себе и своје подсвести у односу на стварност и у...

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u  svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...
