This double cd becomes a tribute to singer Kathi McDonald (1948-2012) Kathi recorded and played with such great artists like Leon Russell, Long John Baldry, Ike And Tina Turner, Rolling Stones, Delany & Bonnie or Freddie King among many others She deeply admired Janis Joplin so, when Joplin passed away, Kathi led Janis’ band, Big Brother And The Holding Company, recording two incredible LP’s which are now legendary, two jewels that have become two cult recordings for rock collectors From Janis Joplin Kathi learned her raw alcoholic way of singing, her intensity, her attitude, her stage presence, her vocal turns, tremolo, sensuality and feeling All these qualities, together with a good mixture of blues and rock, is what Kathi gives us, showing her masterful spontaneous voice and the bright of a real star This double album includes twenty-five songs belonging to the last years of her life, where you will also find some members of the Big Brother And The Holding Company, as well as other prominent musicians Both cds are a real gem and an essential tool to discover and love an artist who, in spite of her undeniable quality, did not get all the recognition and fame she deserved, so I highly recommend to get a copy to enjoy and be infused with the terrific passion Kathi McDonald always put in every song
