Lecture 12: Janis Joplin left Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1968 and organized another group, the Kozmic Blues Band. In the last year of her life, her music evolved into a more soulful and bluesy style that emphasized her voice even more than her music with Big Brother. In this video, Janis performs a song titled “Kozmic Blues” at a 1970 concert in Toronto, which is from her ‘69 album I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!. The Kozmic Blues band consisted of a variety of different musicians, including Joplin’s former Big Brother band mate Sam Andrew and legendary Blues guitarist Mike Bloomfield. I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama! was Joplin’s only solo album released during her lifetime. Her next album, Pearl, came out posthumously.
