For our next Women Who Rock post we have one of My Favorite Woman Vocalists Of All Time, Janis Joplin. Janis had broken away from Big Brother & The Holding Company to emerge a solo artist. During the recording sessions for her first solo album Janis was allegedly shooting upwards of $200 dollars of heroin a day. I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! was released to mixed reviews. All though Janis Joplin's vocals and shift in direction was praised by reviewers, The Kosmic Blues Band was not so well received. Critics thought the band to be sub-par and hindered Janis's performance. One reviewer recommended getting to a point were you could tune out the band and just listen to Janis sing. Fans however loved the album so much that it has gone Platinum. I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! is the only solo album to be released while Janis was alive. Janis was recording the album Pearl when she died of a heroin overdose, the album was unfinished yet released posthumously. Janis had finished all her vocal tracks but one, the ominously titled "Buried Alive In The Blues"
