As she intro'd the song she basically said she was listening to the Janis version and it inspired this. So while the song was absolutely written by Kris, I think she is covering Janis' interpretation
A "cover" means a cover of a performance, not notes and words on paper. Just because Kris wrote it doesn't mean Janis' is cover of his version. This was recorded and released by like 5 other artists before Kristofferson released his own version of it, including: Kenny Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot & the Statler Brothers. This version is 100% a cover of Joplin's rendition, and Joplin's rendition is most similar to Kenny Roger's rendition. Out of all the people who recorded this song, Kristofferson's version sounds the LEAST like Janis'. So....this is Janis Joplin cover.
Those outfits...😆 Imagine not having gone to the show but running into the four of them out at the Tiki bar after the show?? You're hunched over whisky and look up and see them, do a double take...be like, what the...? You guys brothers or something?
So beautifully done
Hey Sierra, Janis would be proud of You, lovely guitar solo also, thanks!😊😉🙂
Sierra...winning fans all over the world...unstoppable.
Beautiful!! But this is a Kris Kristofferson song covered by Janis (and the Dead and many others).

She seems. Uncomfortable without her guitar or fiddle in her hands. Always a great joy and great talent. ❤️. You Sierra.
I've heard her older stuff. She was not that good doing the old timey country. She made a career changing choice in starting to do covers, imo.
what? you don't listen to much of her then
