Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark rasp conveys an aching, desperate passion on funked-up, bluesy rockers, ballads both dramatic and tender, and her signature song, the posthumous number one hit \"Me and Bobby McGee.\" The unfinished \"Buried Alive in the Blues\" features no Joplin vocals -- she was scheduled to record them on the day after she was found dead. Its incompleteness mirrors Joplin's career: Pearl's power leaves the listener to wonder what else Joplin could have accomplished, but few artists could ask for a better final statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1        Move Over    \u003cbr\u003eA2        Cry Baby   \u003cbr\u003eA3        A Woman Left Lonely   \u003cbr\u003eA4        Half Moon  \u003cbr\u003eA5        Buried Alive In The Blues    \u003cbr\u003eB1        My Baby    \u003cbr\u003eB2        Me \u0026amp; Bobby McGee\u003cbr\u003eB3        Mercedes Benz   \u003cbr\u003eB4        Trust Me\u003cbr\u003eB5        Get It While You Can    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analog Record Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45228233752776,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0348\/8505\/files\/81l0jrw7q8L._UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1791238213","url":"https:\/\/www.analogrecordshop.com\/products\/janis-joplin-pearl","provider":"Analog Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
