Our Take

Album Review: BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY - Be A Brother & How Hard It Is

Ah, Big Brother & The Holding Company, a band that has been kicking around the music scene for what seems like forever. Their latest offerings, Be A Brother and How Hard It Is, are no exception to their signature blend of psychedelic rock and bluesy goodness.

Be A Brother kicks off with a bang, with Janis Joplin's unmistakable vocals soaring over crunchy guitar riffs and pounding drums. Tracks like "Keep On" and "Joseph's Coat" showcase the band's ability to blend raw energy with soulful melodies, creating a sound that is impossible to resist.

As we delve into How Hard It Is, we are treated to a more introspective side of Big Brother & The Holding Company. The title track is an emotive ballad that tugs at the heartstrings, while "Funkie Jim" brings a funky groove that is sure to get your head bopping.

Overall, Be A Brother and How Hard It Is are a solid addition to Big Brother & The Holding Company's discography. While the albums may not reinvent the wheel, they showcase a band that knows how to rock out with the best of them. So grab a drink, kick back, and let Big Brother & The Holding Company whisk you away on a musical journey that is equal parts nostalgic and fresh. Cheers to that!
