This previously unreleased recording of Janis Joplin performing "Move Over" is featured on The Pearl Sessions, a new collection of outtakes, live recordings, mono single mixes and assorted rarities made at the time the singer recorded Pearl, her posthumously released masterpiece. This run through the album's opening track is raw and loose – it may not be flawless, but it captures the natural soul of Joplin and her band. The Pearl Sessions will be in stores on April 17th, but you can stream "Move Over (Take 13)" here today.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
