This album is everything the band wanted to create with Cheap Thrills when they tried to sound like a live concert. Songs like "Down on Me," with which the band opened and closed, grab the listener by the ear and refuse to let go, while the band's take on the Gershwin brothers' old chestnut "Summertime (and the Livin's Easy)" transforms a sweet but dippy show tune into a true mournful operatic cry from the heart.

"Summertime (and the Livin's Easy)" transforms a sweet but dippy show tune into a true mournful operatic cry from the heart."
To be sure. Janis imbues the song with a mournful melancholy that tugs at the heart n soul.
Man now I gotta go to work, well at least summeretime is coming, First day of spring for us yesterday.
Thats a wicked version
No one could sing that song the way she could. I think her's was the first version I heard when growing up. Every other version fell short after that.
