To Love Somebody/Try(Just A Little Bit Harder)/As Good As You’ve Been To This World/Little Girl Blue/Work Me Lord/One Good Man/Maybe/Kozmic Blues
Kozmic Blues was a thrilling debut album from the unique blues-rock artist Janis Joplin, following her departure from Big Brother. It was probably the best rock album from a female vocalist. (US:5)
“The record contains several show stopping pieces. The tenderness of Little Girl Blue attests to both her timelessness and greatness as a singer, the rawness of Work Me Lord, the driving force of Try, and others all showed her growth as a singer.”
“There are so many great tracks on this album. Janis Joplin had a certain way of performing a song. She was unlike anybody before her, and no matter how hard others try they can't match her. She was one of a kind, and this album is fantastic.”
“It is full of classics; everything is pretty up there in the woman's repertoire. Kudos to her for making an album of long blues/soul numbers that doesn't sound turgid or uninteresting for a second.”
“This album has a quality, professionalism and charm most singers can only reach in their dreams. Joplin’s overreaching vocal powers transform a batch of songs to achieve an album of soulful fulfilment.”
“I can't think of any other singer who has moved me as much as Janis Joplin since hearing this album. Repeated listening does not diminish its impact either. It amazes me what the world today considers talent after knowing who Janis was and what she could deliver vocally - she truly stands alone.” ,p> “This woman holds nothing back as she pours heart and soul into each song. The music is rough hewn R & B delivered with conviction.”
“She dropped out of Big Brother and the acid sounds, and plunged herself into the soul she had always felt deep down inside her. The orchestral arrangements give her voice such a majestic power. She sounds immaculate, not less powerful, but even more self-confident and firm than previously.”
