Janis Joplin Associated with..
- Big Brother & the Holding Company
- Kozmic Blues Band
- Full Tilt Boogie Band
http://www.janisjoplin.com/


Janis Lyn Joplin lahir Jan 19, 1943 di Port Arthur, Texas.
Dikenal sebagai penyanyi Blues hebat tahun 60-an (dia juga Penulis & Arranger).
Dia menyanyi Blues & Folk music sejak remaja. Janis terinspirasi oleh Bessie Smith (Penyanyi Blues tahun 20-an).
Pada pertengahan tahun 60-an dia bermain bersama Jorma Kaukonen (nantinya Gitaris Jefferson Airplane).

Pada awal karir-nya dikenal sebagai Vocalis Big Brother & the Holding Company,
dia keluar akhir tahun 60-an dan memutuskan untuk ber-solo karir.
Pada Monterey Pop Festival 1967, penampilan Janis memukau dan mulai dikenal penonton
saat membawakan "Ball and Chain".

Album solo pertama, I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!,
direkam bersama Kozmic Blues Band (personilnya, Sam Andrew adalah mantan member Big brother). Sound album ini sangat Soulful dan Bluessy karena aransement-nya penuh dengan instrument horn.
Coba dengerin "Try.. (Just A Little Bit harder)"

Bertahun-tahun kehidupan pribadi Janis naik turun dengan kecanduan drug, alcohol.
Secara musikal tahun-tahun akhir kehidupannya membaik, bersama dengan Full Tilt Boogie Band (Album Pearl).
Pearl menjadi bukti bahwa Janis semakin dewasa, penampilan yang berbeda
dan dapat membawakan Blues, Soul dan Folk Rock dengan baik.
"Mercedes Benz", "Get It While You can" dan "Bobby McGee", adalah beberapa lagu terbaik Janis Joplin.

Tragisnya, Janis Joplin meninggal sebelum album Pearl di-release,
karena overdosis Heroin di Hollywood Hotel pada October 1970.
Saat "Me and Bobby McGee" dibawakan, pasti akan mengingatkan kita pada Janis Joplin!


Coba nyanyi'in deh...

- Me & Bobby McGee -
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans.

I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slapping time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine,
We sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing don't mean nothing honey if it ain't free, now now.
And feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done,
Hey Bobby baby? kept me from the cold.

One day up near Salinas,I let him slip away,
He's looking for that home and I hope he finds it,
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose,
Nothing, that's all that Bobby left me, yeah,
But feeling good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
Hey, feeling good was good enough for me, hmm hmm,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

La la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la la
La la la la la Bobby McGee.
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, Bobby McGee, la.

La La la, la la la la la la,
La La la la la la la la la, ain`t no bumb on my bobby McGee yeah.
Na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na
Hey now Bobby now, Bobby McGee, yeah.

Lord, I'm calling my lover, calling my man,
I said I'm calling my lover just the best I can,
C'mon, hey now Bobby yeah, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah,
Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord!

Yeah! Whew!

Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lordy Lord
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee.

- Piece Of My Heart -
(Come on…)
Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man, well yeah,
An' didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough,
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby, (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah. (have a..)
Hey! Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh yes indeed.

You're out on the streets looking good, and baby,
Deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain't right,
Never never never never never never never hear me when I cry at night.
Baby, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again.

I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a..)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, (come on…)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
Well, You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Guitar

I need you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, darling, yeah. (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it (waaaaahhh)
Take a…Take another little piece of my heart now, baby. (break a…)
Break another little bit of my heart, and darling, yeah yeah (have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good


kalo yang ini gimana..


- Summertime -
Summertime,
Child, your living's easy.
Fish are, fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton's high, Lord so high.

Your dad's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She's a-looking pretty fine to me now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don't you cry, don't you cry.

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing,
You're gonna spread your wings, child,
And take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

But until that morning,
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya,
No, no, no no, no no, no...
Don't you cry — cry.


kalo yang ini jadi inget doloo...

- Mercedes Benz -

I'd like to do a song of a great social and poetical import.
It goes like this

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?
I’m counting on you, Lord, please don’t let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends,
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
So oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

That’s it!

Janis Joplin 18 Essential Songs
Release Date Jan 24, 1995

18 Essential Songs is a one-disc distillation of the triple-disc Janis box set.
Running 70 minutes, it is a more extensive best-of than the ten-track 1973 Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album.
But it is denied "first pick" status because, unlike that album,
it does not contain the hit version of Joplin's only number one single, "Me and Bobby McGee."
(It does, however, contain an alternate demo version of that song.)

Ultimate Kansas [2002]

Double album ini bener-bener sesuai namanya "Ultimate Kansas".
Walaupun nggak menggambarkan musik Kansas terakhir, tetap album ini
mewakili keinginan pendengar untuk mengetahui
musik pada masa puncak Kansas di tahun 70-an.


Ta'u nggak ...
- Rich Williams dan Phil Ehart selalu muncul pada setiap album Kansas
- Hanya Williams dan Ehart yang asli dari Negara bagian Kansas
- Single "Dust In The Wind" terjual lebih dari 1 juta copy
- Tiket konser Kansas selalu terjual habis pada setiap show sepanjang akhir 70-an


Dulu ini lagu pembuka website resmi Kansas ...

- Carry On Wayward Son -

(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreamin',
I can hear them say

(Chorus)
Carry on my wayward son,
For there'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Now don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely
means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say

Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

(Chorus)

inget lagu ini kah?

- Journey From Mariabronn -

Two began together, lived as one
Each one to the other had become
More than a friend, living to meet a common end
They were true, each one knew all is well

Still the elder knew it could not last
Hidden memories from the young one's past
Drew them apart
Both knew that deep within his heart they must part
Each their own separate way

It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart
Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two
From the very start
I screamed for the devil to let me be
I called to the heavens to set me free
Today I prayed for the answer and not one
Of the gods in the sky would rescue me

Dreams of fortune fill the young one's mind
Learn the worldly ways of hope to find
Love on the way, searching to find the light of day
In his soul he had found his own way

But to each other they soon will return
Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame

apalagi ini ..

- Point Of Know return -

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well
And they say they need sailing men to
Show the way, and leave today
Was it you that said, "How long, how long?"

They say the sea turns so dark that
You know it's time, you see the sign
They say the point demons guard is
An ocean grave, for all the brave,
Was it you that said, "How long, how long,
How long to the point of know return?"

Your father, he said he needs you
Your mother, she says she loves you
Your brothers, they echo your words:
"How far to the point of know return?"
"Well, how long?"

Today I found a message floating
In the sea from you to me
It said that when you could see it
You cried with fear, the Point was near
Was it you that said, "How long, how long
To the Point of Know Return?"


yang ini pasti inget ...

- Dust In The Wind -

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Kansas [1974] Kansas

Kansas dibentuk di Topeka, 1970, oleh
Kerry Livgren (Guitarist), Dave Hope (Bassist) & Phil Ehart (Drummer),
yang telah bermain musik bersama sejak masa SMA.
Dengan bergabungnya Robbie Steinhardt pemain violin classic, kemudian
Steve Walsh (Keyboardist/ Vocalist) dan Richard Williams (Guitars),
Kansas memulai awal berdirinya dengan melakukan tour tanpa kenal lelah dan berjuang agar dikenal. Pada awalnya Kansas menggabungkan antara kerumitan Prog-Rock British dan Boogie style America. Kansas salah satu Band yang populer pada akhir 70-an, yang lagu-lagunya masih sering dimainkan di radio-radio sampai hari ini.

pada album ini ada lagu ...

- Lonely Wind (Steve Walsh) -

When I'm needin' a friend I can talk to the wind
God I sure am glad that I found him
Sometimes he seems to be the only one beside me
Who can feel the Lord's breath all around him
Winter's cold frozen ice or a bright autumn day
On a warm summer night you can hear him say

CHORUS
Cry for me, sigh for me, sad breezes flow
Stay for me, play for me, the song my friends will know
My lonely wind must blow

Mighty friend that is mine, can you give me a sign?
He'll leave nothing but only to hear him
I've seen the tall trees bend low when his mighty winds blow
And that's all the more reason I fear him
Hear him call for the earth lonely I can feel his great pain
But on the eve of this day
I'll join in his refrain

CHORUS

When I'm needing a friend I'll remember the wind
And my life here with the breezes of sorrow
I'll be leaving himoon 'cause I've got to make room
For the lonely that will find him tomorrow
On a black stormy night in your bosom I'll cling
And I'll know I've found love and the last song we'll sing

CHORUS

Kansas - Kansas (March, 1974)
Recorded 1973 at Record Plant Studios A & C, New York

King Crimson [1970] Lizard

Album ke-tiga King Crimson ini sangat berorientasi jazz dengan pengaruh dari Miles Davis dan sangat Progressive.
Jon Anderson (Yes) menjadi guest pada "Prince Rupert Awakes"

inget lyrics ini...

  - Lady of the Dancing Water - 

Grass in your hair stretched like a lion in the sun
Restlessly turned moistened your mouth with your tongue.
Pouring my wine in your eyes caged mine glowing
Touching your face my fingers strayed knowing.
I called you lady of the dancing water.

Blown autumn leaves shed to the fire where you laid me
Burn slow to ash just as my days now seem to be.
I feel you still always your eyes glowing
Remembered hours salt, earth and flowers flowing
Farewell my lady of the dancing water.

In The Wake Of Poseidon [1970]

King Crimson mengawali tahun 1970 secara kritis dengan kehilangan dua anggota: Ian McDonald & Michael Giles,
dan Greg lake yang berencana akan keluar.
Pada album ini sound guitar Fripp bukan yang dominan.
Suara yang dominan adalah Mellotron, yang dimainkan oleh Fripp (bukan oleh McDonald!)

inget lagu ini ...

- Cadence and Cascade -

Cadence and Cascade
Kept a man named Jade;
Cool in the shade
While his audience played.
Purred, whispered, Spend us too:
We only serve for you.

Sliding mystified
On the wine of the tide
Stared pale-eyed
As his veil fell aside.
Sad paper courtesan
They found him just a man.

Caravan hotel
Where the sequin spell fell
Custom of the game.
Cadence oiled in love
Licked his velvet gloved hand
Cascade kissed his name.

Sad paper courtesan
They knew him just a man.

The Court Of Crimson King [1969]

King Crimson
(Formed Jan 13,1969 in England)

Inget lyric ini...

- Epitaph -

The wall on which the prophets wrote
Is cracking at the seams.
Upon the instruments of death
The sunlight brightly gleams.
When every man is torn apart
With nightmares and with dreams,
Will no one lay the laurel wreath
As silence drowns the screams.

Between the iron gates of fate,
The seeds of time were sown,
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who are known;
Knowledge is a deadly friend
When no one sets the rules.
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools.

Confusion will be my epitaph.
As I crawl a cracked and broken path
If we make it we can all sit back
And laugh.
But I fear tomorrow Ill be crying,
Yes I fear tomorrow Ill be crying.


atao yang ini...

- I Talk To The Wind -

Said the straight man to the late man
Where have you been
Ive been here and Ive been there
And Ive been in between.

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.

Im on the outside looking inside
What do I see
Much confusion, disillusion
All around me.

You dont possess me
Dont impress me
Just upset my mind
Cant instruct me or conduct me
Just use up my time

I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear.



King Crimson adalah salah satu group Progressive Rock yang banyak di puja sekaligus diumpat.
nama King Crimson diambil dari salah satu lyric lagu yang dibuat oleh Peter Sinfield
dan sekaligus judul awal album mereka.. The Court Of Crimson King..
King Crimson juga berarti Beelzebub atau pemimpin setan.
King Crimson didirikan oleh:
Michael Giles (Drums, Vocals), Peter Giles (Bass, Vocals), Robert Fripp (Guitar),
yang telah bermain bersama dalam Trio Giles, Giles & Fripp.
Kemudian Ian McDonald (Mellotron, Vocals) & Peter Sinfield (Synth & Penulis lagu) bergabung.
Musik Prog-Rock yg dimainkan kadang bercampur dengan jazz maupun classic.

... jaman itu ...   

Pada gambar ini, bila kita menutup gambar mulut yang tersenyum,
maka akan tampak gambar mata yang sedang sangat bersedih.
Menurut Fripp itu refleksi dari music yang dapat sangat bertentangan!

The Very Best Of Jethro Tull

Kalo denger suara flute di musik Rock kita langsung tau itu Jethro Tull!
Musik Jethro Tull sulit dimasukkan ke dalam satu genre,
itu karena mereka memainkan mulai dari Blues, Folk Rock, Prog Rock sampai yang dipengaruhi Jazz.
Beberapa lagu menjadi begitu terkenal karena liriknya. contohnya ini...

- Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young to Die -
The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light.
Death's head belt buckle yesterday's dreams
the transport cafe prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
in his post-war-babe gloom.

Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die.

So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies tears in his eyes
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.

And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.

No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

- Aqualung -
Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
as he bends to pick a dog-end
he goes down to the bog
and warms his feet.

Feeling alone
the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
Aqualung my friend
don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

James Gang - Bang

Ini album studio ke-enam James Gang, release 1973.
Di album ini Tommy Bollin pertama kali gabung.

Coba inget lirik dibawah ini...

- Mystery -

I knew what it was to be young once
But now I'm growin' so old
And for a time I had forgotten
But now -
I think about being young again

Strange old feeling is a-tugging on me
It's pulling me by the sleeve
Calling me back to something I let go
So far behind and so long ago
Warm and wild springs near my old home
Can your mystery hold me

I'd like to share your secret again
Your body could soothe me

I knew what it was to be in love once
But now I'm growin' so cold
And for a time I had forgotten
But now -
I think about feeling love again
Strange old feeling is a-tugging on me
It's pulling me by the sleeve
Calling me back to something I let go
So far behind and so long ago
Warm and wild springs near my old home
Can your mystery hold me

I'd like to share your secret again
Your body could soothe me
