Best Song: Piece of My Heart [84.6]

Blues Rock

I was going to skip this one as I don't care for Janis Joplin but I am glad I didn't as this one jammed out.
 
Doing the '60s soul thing? Janis maybe more rock but that voice was something else. If looking for some great soul check out James Brown Live at the Apollo.

Sticking around in the 60's this week trying some new sounds.... got some Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa coming up.... not sure if I can make it through those albums .... but who knows.... I give that James Brown album a try when I do live albums again.....

Psychedelic/Stoner Rock

WOW! ... it is not often that an album debut's in my top 100 but this one really hit the spot with some heavy Psych sound with killer vocals. Every track on this one is great and this album should grow into my top 50 if not higher with repeat listens.... must have for my collection!!!
