for me, Kris is one Super Cool Dude and Janis's is a Life History worth checking out
Sunday Morning Coming Down (IIRC) is another one of them songs of his that goes right to it as well. |

I'm with you on this one. I think she casually slaughters a decent song. |

This cover is one of the best examples of how the singer's diction is a perfect match for the lyrics of the song— Janis Joplin's voice sounds exactly like the character you would expect to express the lyrics of this song as a true experience...
this really is a great song, and a brilliant cover...

trivia: This was Janis' only #1 and I think it made it there after she died.

There's a new movie in production, Janis Joplin: Get It While You Can, starring Amy Adams. Should be interesting, at least.

Always reminds me of my youth hitchhiking around. Great memories and even a few nightmares. But Freedom was the word.

It's such a great classic. I guess there's not much we can say about it.  |

Roger Miller, actually. KK did a cover as well... According to Wikipedia, that is, FWIW.
I'm not sure if it's really a cover if you wrote the tune, but Roger did record it first. |

This is a really good composition, but this rendition is just a tad (?) bit overwrought. Bizarrely, I prefer the Grateful Dead's live version. Bob Weir is a major shouter, but Janis Joplin really screams too much here.
