Review

Rolling Stone (11/1/69, p.40) - "...a fine and solid [album]....'Kozmic Blues' itself is a small-but-large masterpiece, with luminous autobiographical lyrics and a fully realized performance....Lady Janis sermonizes beautifully..."
Q (11/99, p.156) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...she went in a more straightforward blues/pop direction, with the fluid, funky 'Try' and the Nina Samone ballad, 'Little Girl Blue'..."

Using Stax-Volt styled horn arrangements and a rhythm section including Sam Andrew, who she brought along from Big Brother And The Holding Company, her backing group is mightily up to it's task, as KOZMIC BLUES officially marks the start of solo Joplin. Some of her stances as the misused woman might not jibe with current sensibilities, but her tortured, insistent, blues-soaked performances leave little doubt as to who's really got the power. If she needs to make sure her man loves her enough, she'll "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)" to let him know how she feels. While whooping it up at a wild, happening party, she enjoys all the fun but is really just looking for "One Good Man."
Her take on the Gibb Brothers "To Love Somebody" is impossibly funky. Janis probably did not affect many singers stylistically, because imitating her intensity was technically prohibitive. But it is sure that over in England, one Robert Plant was paying close attention. With her whisper-to-a-roar dynamics and multi-octave range, Janis and The Kozmic Blues Band bury listeners in the soul blues.

Album Description

KOZMIC BLUES officially marks the start of Janis Joplin's solo career, using Stax-Volt-style horn arrangements and a backing band including guitarist Sam Andrew, who she brought along from Big Brother And The Holding Company. While the band proves to be mightily up to its task, Joplin's tortured, insistent, blues-soaked performances leave little doubt as to who's in charge here.
With her whisper-to-a-roar dynamics and multi-octave range, Janis and The Kozmic Blues Band bury listeners in the soul blues. Her take on the Gibb Brothers "To Love Somebody" is impossibly funky. If she needs to make sure her man loves her enough, she'll "Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)" to let him know how she feels. While whooping it up at a wild, happening party, she enjoys all the fun but is really just looking for "One Good Man". Not many of the numerous Janis imitators in the US gained much notoriety, but it's certain that over in England, one Robert Plant was paying close attention.
