Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits
A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin s solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for those who only want one Janis Joplin disc, even if it isn't definitive. The 1999 CD reissue adds two bonus tracks, "Maybe" and "Mercedes Benz." ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
