 gorta rated 14 months ago - I love this version. The trumpet and clarinet intro anticipating her powerful voice mingle perfectly with the sad sweetness of the first minor chords of the guitar.
One of the few songs you can listen to over and over, year after year without ever getting tired of it.
And the lyrics are so simp...

- summertime time time
child the living's easy
fish are jumping out
and the cotton lord
cotton's high lord so high
your daddy's rich
and your ma is so good looking baby
she's looking good now
hush baby baby baby baby baby
no no no no don't you cry
don't you cry
one of these mornings
you're gonna rise rise up singing
you're gonna spread your wings
child and take take to the sky
lord the sky
but until that morning
honey n n nothing's going to harm you now
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no
don't you cry
cry
God knows...I've never loved summer...
The best way to live is to be sodden under the rain...

- Sometimes listening to Janis the 60s cliches tempt me to squirm. But when I came across this video it revived the same frisson in the face of exceptional brilliance that made me strangely envious of Janis at the initial encounter. This is the band performing one of my all-time favourites. It's J in great form. And looking beautiful, in that other kind of beauty, I might add. While the boys behind her are stumbling somewhat.
