Janis Joplin tearing her throat open in front of a garage band that can barely contain her. 'Piece of My Heart' detonates on that famous rasp, and 'Ball and Chain' stretches into nine minutes of raw, unhinged blues. Recorded to sound live because the studio takes felt too tame. It topped the charts for eight weeks and made her a star overnight. R. Crumb cover, San Francisco 1968, absolute lightning.
