Pearl is the second and final solo studio album (and fourth album overall) by American singer Janis Joplin, released on January 11, 1971, by Columbia Records. The album was released three months after Joplin`s death on October 4, 1970. It was the final album with Joplin`s direct participation, and her only album recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band, her final touring unit. It peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, holding that spot for nine weeks. Pearl has been certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[1] It was ranked number 259 on Rolling Stone magazine`s 2020 list of the `500 Greatest Albums of All Time`.[2]

Content
The album has a more polished sound than those Joplin recorded with Big Brother and the Holding Company and the Kozmic Blues Band, due to the expertise of producer Paul A. Rothchild and new backing musicians. Rothchild was best-known as the recording studio producer of The Doors and worked well with Joplin, calling her a `producer`s dream`. Together they were able to craft an album showcasing her extraordinary vocal talents; they used Sunset Sound Recorders in Los Angeles.

The Full Tilt Boogie Band were the musicians who accompanied her on the Festival Express, a concert tour of Canada by train, in the summer of 1970. Many of the songs on this album were recorded on the concert stage in Canada two months before Joplin and the band started their LA recording sessions. The band also appeared twice on The Dick Cavett Show and played many American cities before and after Festival Express, though no recordings of those concerts were officially released.

All nine tracks Joplin sings on were personally approved and arranged by Joplin. Pearl features the #1 hit `Me and Bobby McGee`, written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster (Joplin played acoustic guitar on this track); `Trust Me`, by Bobby Womack, written for Joplin; Howard Tate`s `Get It While You Can`, showcasing her vocal range; and the original songs `Move Over` and `Mercedes Benz`, the latter co-written by Joplin, Bobby Neuwirth, and Michael McClure.

Joplin sang on all tracks except `Buried Alive in the Blues`, which was a backing track on which she had not yet recorded vocals. The song`s writer Nick Gravenites was offered the chance to sing it as a tribute to Joplin but turned it down, so the song ended up as an instrumental. He later sang it with Joplin’s former band Big Brother and the Holding Company for their 1971 album How Hard It Is. The recording sessions, starting in early September, ended with Joplin`s untimely death in 1970. Her final session, which took place Thursday, October 1 after a break of several days, yielded her a cappella `Mercedes Benz.` It was the last song she recorded before her death.[3] The album cover, photographed by Barry Feinstein in Los Angeles,[4][5] shows Joplin reclining on her Victorian era loveseat with a drink in her hand.[6]
