ASHA JJ TRIBUTE
@ashajjtribute
Probably the most well known, and most obvious, is the house classic ‘JJ Tribute’ by Asha from Italy, release in 1990. There was a lot of house music originating from Italy at the time and this is one of the best with it’s uplifiting piano and Janis’s rough vocals it was the perfect tonic for the acid house era. At almost 20 years old it still sounds remarkably fresh. The JJ in the title stands for Janis Joplin, so the record is essentially fitting tribute to late great Woodstock legend. The song samples her song ‘Ball and Chain’ plus some of the rambling speech she made at Woodstock
