To me, Janis will always be the perfect woman. She gave everything she had, every time she went on stage. Her songs and her voice were a perfect combination of soul and rock, and she was able to make you feel just the way she did. On "Move Over" she is rough and tough, but on "A Woman Left Lonely" she is so vulnerable and delicate as any little girl. And "Me And Bobby McGee" is an amazing journey through the 60's counterculture.

This is the sound of my grandmother's stereo. Dinah Washington was called the Queen of Jam Sessions, and this album shows that the title was welldeserved. She swings and she sings like nobody else, and the band is magnificent. Her take "Lover, Come Back To Me", "Summertime", and "I've Got You Under My Skin" are among the greatest live recordings of these songs, but there really isn't one bad song on this album.

Grymer, you've got stuff good stuff on here. I see you like blues and motown a lot, and you really like the lady singers.
In fact, you had Janis Joplin at #1, so, I'd like to recommend someone to you that I think you will love, Susan Tedeschi (now of the Tedeschi Trucks Band). Check out her album called "Just Won't Burn". Her voice sounds like an incredible combination of Janis Joplin's and Bonnie Raitt's. She does a couple of covers, including "Mama He Treats Your Daughter Mean" (also sung by Koko Taylor), "Little By Little", and "Angel From Montgomery". Her originals are really good too: "Rock Me Right", "It Hurt So Bad" (if you love Janis Joplin, you will love this), "Friars Point", and "You Need To Be With Me". If you give it a listen, let me know how you like it.

A very nice list! Heavy on the ladies (refreshing to see) and full of artists who evoke genuine emotion.
