Janis Ian - Janis Ian (1967) [Reissue 2008]

Digitally remastered edition of this 1967 release from the singer/songwriter, appearing on CD for the first time in it's entirety. Ian captured the frustrations, awkwardness, and inner turmoil of teenaged existence with a clarity and maturity well beyond her tender age. Recorded when she was just 15 years old, Janis Ian was released in 1967 with the controversial Top 20 hit single 'Society's Child.' Recorded with some of New York's finest session musicians, including Artie Butler on harpsichord, piano, and organ, Vinnie Bell and Al Gorgoni on guitars, Joe Mack on bass, and Buddy Saltzman on drums, Janis Ian hit the Billboard charts at #29. The full-color, 16-page booklet also includes previously unpublished photos and exhaustive liner notes that feature the participation of Janis and others.
