With her music, she pushed and experimented until it felt just right. Her fourth and final album &ndash; Pearl&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;showed Janis at the top of her game, working hard with a new band and new ways to use her voice. This one-hour radio special&nbsp;explores&nbsp;Janis&rsquo; final years and the making of Pearl from her sister and author Laura Joplin, road manager John Byrne Cooke, Pearl producer, the late Paul Rothchild, and author Holly George Warren.&nbsp; Sat, 02 Jun 2012 01:00:00 +0000 9701 at http://redriverradio.org Janis Joplin: Pearl
