Piece of My Heart - Janis Joplin (Sara Niemietz & W.G. Snuffy Walden Live Cover)

This song is available on iTunes:

Janis Joplin's take on "Piece of My Heart" absolutely captivated me as a kid. I was obsessed with her records and loved singing this song any chance I got.

Fast forward many years to today -- WG Snuffy Walden and I are playing it for YOU!

Hope you have half as much fun as we did!

Thanks to Taylor Guitars for Snuffy's beautiful guitar and their stupendous instruments.

That guitarist is none other than THE Snuffy Walden who has had Grammy nominations garnered Emmy awards for theme music he produced for The West Wing, The Wonder Years, Thirty Something, Roseanne and many more. Sara's talent is BEYOND. She's even more amazing in person so if you see they are coming to your country/city make sure you go see them!

[kellybellows]

Why isn't she wildly famous?! I would purchase her singing the ABC's lol!

[tomlane]

So happy I stumbled across this. I was but a 17-18 year old lad when Janis released this. I never believed anyone could properly cover this song. Dear lord!
Sara, you owned this song. A great tribute. A beautiful, passionate rendition. I do hereby endorse this cover.

[danielgaspar]

Mr. Walden doing the usual great stuff (big fan of this man) and Sara always setting the bar one step higher. Please somebody, take a look at this girl! The finest, humble and talented singer I ever seen. Gotta thank the gods I've seen they perform live. (bowing down)

Love Sara Niemietz singing. But doesn't everyone agree there is just something about watching her sing. Not creepy. i mean shes just so engaging! love her expressions!

[jacklandon]

This has to be one of the hardest songs for any woman to cover. You can not just sing this song, you have to wail it to do it justice. It has to be a feeling conveyed to words. I felt it. Excellent job.

[FlavioHenrique-ubgm]

There are no words to express the how great this performance was. No words.

[jongunn]

Had to watch three times, pick my jaw off the floor, and txt a friend to watch this...
Amazing recording... Reckon Joplin would have hugged you for this Sara...
Stunning.... 👏👏👏👏👏👏💐

I love you Sara with this performance. Brilliant interpretation.

[piano_red]

I'm just mad that I have already given this a thumbs up..and can't do it again! Pure Gold. That smile on the very end towards Snuffy as the image defocused... so cool - you Knew you Kicked A_s😀

[allensmith]

I fall in love again every time I hear her.

[easchell]

Every once in a while Sara will connect with a song and just knock it right out of the stadium. This is magical.
