This is great but what she was doing by 69 -70 was absolutely terrific and even though somewhat mainstream, it was and is absolutely authentic, so much so we've mourned her ever since!!

Heard David Crosby on a late night talk show several years when he recounted about being at a party where Janis and Jim Morrison were at a party. Apparently Janis and Jim got into some kind of argument resulting in Janis bashing Jim in the head with her bottle of Southern Comfort. Always thought that was a cool story.
@daven58100 What happened was that Janis was sitting next to Jim on a couch when he grabbed her head and shoved it into his crotch! She was livid, hence hitting him over the head with the Southern Comfort bottle.
@daven58100 That's apparently a true story! If you read the book "Going down with Janis" it's told in there as well! Also it's an aweeessssooommmmeeee book :)

Holy shinola!! Ya think maybe she might have listened to one or two delta blues artists? Is this 1962 or 1932? What power, what control, what a force of God!!!

If you love Janis Joplin you will LOVE Haley Reinhart. She is no way around it the modern Janis Joplin and a legend in the making!! Look up her singing Piece of my heart!! She can rock it out
@MIketucky350 I've heard her...she's to janis as a cat is to a lion....seriously....I think is even a sacrilege to compare a half ass singer to janis, the one and only.... you better have your ears checked....
I've loved her since I was a baby. Sort of she's been my heart, singing right into it since I was ten. Then the next year she was dead. I've known every word to all the songs she ever recorded. I hope I get to heaven and she's singing with Jim Morrison Cass Elliott, and Duane Allman and Jimi Hendrix are playing guitar!
When I heard this song, I felt something quicken inside me. That last note? What the fuck was that?!?! Nothing and nobody has ever had that astounding SOUND!! I lay slain.
It can do a lot of good....seems like. Im sitting here wondering where I'll be layin my head down to sleep in the comin days or weeks. I have gin & orange and some beer. Temporary fix I s'pose huh? Thank you for postin this. .....dont matter what Im drankin long's it drown the sorrow Im in.......
If you need a Janis fix, check out LAYLA ZOE (pronounced Lay-la Zo) - "Canada's Darlin' of the Blues". She sounds like Janis and looks eerily similar to her. She's been called "Janis Reincarnated" by many big names in the business. She's huge in Canada and Europe! Search her on here, Facebook and Myspace. You won't regret it!
@75hippylove After I read the book and talked about it with friends alot of people told me that Janis and her sister Laura were not close and they felt she was exploting Janis? It was still a good book to me. Even if they were angry all family fight. Joplin disowned her entire family in her will after her 10 HS reunion her class mates were mean to her and JJ felt like her family didn't have her back.. I love Janis Joplin!
what a rare recording. Janis' voice wasnt beautiful, but it was powerful, and she had a tremendous presence about her. Not to mention a lot of soul. Thanks for posting this.
Does anybody know there are some dozen or more songs AT LEAST of Janis from like 1962 to 64? Um....there's a movie with several clips. Not my movie. I don't make no money. Its before she went "electric." Can you imagine people back then thinking "rock and roll sucks." No shit. One guy goes, "even the British stuff." She told one of the dudes in the movie that was her friend then "we folkies don't do rock and roll."

Amazing. I can hear a barking dog in the background. She isn't even twenty years old here, and what shines through is a wisdom and clarity of voice that remains unmatched to this day.
Love the dog in the back ground.Sounds like she just woke up and recorded this.What a wonderful piece of history.God love yah Janice.Your gone and yet your voice keeps you here with us.
If you want to hear the Lead Belly influence listen to her version "See See Rider", now that is totally Lead Belly. Don't you just love what cool chic she was. This song was her first recording and it was recorded the year I was born, 1962.
You can definitely tell of the Lead Belly influence. I heard her sing "Mary Jane," and I didn't think it was her, because the early Janis sounded completely different, like something from the mid-thirties, perhaps one of Robert Johnson's female acquaintances, lol.
@ZephyrOrDie HAha, Well when I am doing more than one thing at a time, at my age spelling really doesn't matter.. :) I'm really happy to be vertical during the day! Cheers to you ZephyrOrDie!
Thanks for posting. I've never heard this. I love the way she talks too. It sounds like a 78 rpm from the 1920's. She was probably listening to Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music as a teenager. She was definitely checked out on what came before as were most of her peers and contemporaries. Back in the 60's you would never hear a young person say, "That happened before I was born, so why should I know about it?".
Do you mean, is this Janis singing in the recording? Its listed on wikipedia and several other sites as her first recording. If you've had the pleasure of hearing the album before Cheap Thrills, simply titled "Big Brother and the Holding Company", you couldn't mistake this singing for anyone else. Its the first time I've heard this song, and I loved it!
I have several other songs with her sounding like this, she got a very powerful voice, besides toddutoob, my aunt used to work at a bar way back in the day before she became an artist, she used to put a tape recorder under the stage, I have tons of stuff like this by people you'd never believe its them, but I assure you it is.
Really sad when you think about that. To this day I have no idea what the hell Britney sings. But the real shame is the money she's made compared to a wonderful truly talented blues rock singer like Janis

No, sorry, by 1965 she was already in San Francisco. This has to be no later than 1963, as she is accompanying herself on autoharp, an instrument that she was playing in the early sixties, while a student at UTexas.
wow! i've never heard any old janis recording like this before. this is a real treat! thank you so much for taking the time to post this for all of us to enjoy! janis was, is and will always be the best female vocalist of all time to me.
how can u say the name of a god in the same sentence as a new age bullshit term like ftw thats a disgrace, also its incredibly rude to comment something like that on a video like this, even though Jim Morrison is an amazing singer songwriter so is Janis, so how about you stop trolling videos of incredibly talented people so u can blurt out your own retarded responses and just enjoy the video
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude chill,i just was laughing my ass off because of your little pussy sensitive bs,and jim wasn't no god,he was just a human being...he would probly be laughing right along with me at your stupid comment
This is a stark contrast to her later (and more famous) work, which feature her gravely voice. It's almost unrecognizable as Janis. One sheds a tear for what might have been.
Of course I'm a fan but you have to admit that her voice sounds different.
By the way I have had the pleasure of seeing her in person three times, at the Woodstock festival, at the Fillmore East, and at Madison Square Garden.
If you check below you will notice that I already ate my hat. ;)
It is Janis when she was younger. It was one of the first songs she ever wrote. She went through a phase after severe speed addiction in New York where she went back to Port Author and didn't drink or party. Her friends jokingly described it as her "life as a nun".
This is great but what she was doing by 69 -70 was absolutely terrific and even though somewhat mainstream, it was and is absolutely authentic, so much so we've mourned her ever since!!

This was actually recorded in 1965 lol not 1962 just saying, but yes i love this version of janis, its just so folk, and its amazing.
zjkrone 2 years ago 2
No, sorry, by 1965 she was already in San Francisco. This has to be no later than 1963, as she is accompanying herself on autoharp, an instrument that she was playing in the early sixties, while a student at UTexas.

Album entitled Janis, 1975 lists as '63 or '64, Austin TX. You are correct. Peace.

how can u say the name of a god in the same sentence as a new age bullshit term like ftw thats a disgrace, also its incredibly rude to comment something like that on a video like this, even though Jim Morrison is an amazing singer songwriter so is Janis, so how about you stop trolling videos of incredibly talented people so u can blurt out your own retarded responses and just enjoy the video

This is a stark contrast to her later (and more famous) work, which feature her gravely voice. It's almost unrecognizable as Janis. One sheds a tear for what might have been.

get out the hat buddy! how can you not know that voice if your a janis fan? only one janis and all janis fans know the voice when they hear it
sherex 2 years ago
Of course I'm a fan but you have to admit that her voice sounds different.
By the way I have had the pleasure of seeing her in person three times, at the Woodstock festival, at the Fillmore East, and at Madison Square Garden.
If you check below you will notice that I already ate my hat. ;)

Nice!
But........if this is truly Janis I will eat my hat.

It is Janis when she was younger. It was one of the first songs she ever wrote. She went through a phase after severe speed addiction in New York where she went back to Port Author and didn't drink or party. Her friends jokingly described it as her "life as a nun".
