Taken from the 2005 2cd Legacy Edition of her biggest selling LP Pearl, comes this demo version of Janis covering her then beau Kris Kristofferson's tune.From Wiki:"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller.

Culled from "Pearl" Legacy Edition is this demo version of Me and Bobby Mcgee. Pearl is undeniably Janis Joplin s studio classic, and her final recording, released posthumously. She departed the earth at the very top of her game creatively, and just listening to this bring tears to my eyes.
