    All Music Guide Review

    A 23-track collection of various tracks that Janis Joplin either covered or was influenced by, this set works just as well as a sequence without the Joplin connection. When you can hear Bo Diddley's calling card "Bo Diddley" next to Wanda Jackson's "Silver Threads and Golden Needles," and then back it up with Clarence Ashley's folk classic "The Coo Coo Bird," you've got yourself a nice little chunk of American music history, and yes, the roots of Janis Joplin, too. ~ Steve Leggett, All Music Guide
