Janis Joplin’s voice never sounded more human than it does on Pearl. Recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band right before her death in 1971, this is the album where she finally got room to breathe — "Me and Bobby McGee," "Cry Baby," and the a cappella gut-punch of "Mercedes Benz" are all here. "Buried Alive in the Blues" stayed instrumental because she never got the chance to sing it. This is the record Janis left us, and it still hits like nothing else.

Year: 1971
