Notes: Liner Note Author: Sam Andrews. This two-fer from Acadia features a pair of out of print LPs by Big Brother & the Holding Company after vocalist Janis Joplin left the band. Originally issued on Columbia in 1970 and 1971, Be a Brother and How Hard It Is, aren't representative of the band at its best and can only be recommended to collectors. Casual listeners should stick with Cheap Thrills. ~ Al Campbell
Big Brother and the Holding Company was the group that backed 1960s blues-rock siren Janis Joplin. Their hallucinogenic charm lies in the gulf between the roots music they loved and the electrically charged, psychedelic-tinged music they actually played. Brimming with casual confidence and empowered by a sense of community, this band mixed free-spirited innovation with total honesty and commitment. At the end of the decade, Joplin departed for a solo career, though she would tragically depart from the world itself soon after.
