Our Take

BIG BROTHER & THE HOLDING COMPANY / JANIS JOPLIN - Cheap Thrills

From the opening notes of "Combination of the Two," it's clear that Cheap Thrills is not your average psychedelic rock album. Big Brother & The Holding Company, along with the legendary Janis Joplin, deliver a whirlwind of energy and emotion that grips you from start to finish.

Joplin's powerhouse vocals command attention, soaring through tracks like "Piece of My Heart" and "Ball and Chain" with raw, unbridled passion. The band's bluesy instrumentation provides the perfect backdrop for Joplin's soulful wails, creating a sound that is both haunting and exhilarating.

Tracks like "Summertime" showcase Joplin's versatility, as she effortlessly transitions from a tender croon to a fiery growl. The band's tight, energetic playing keeps the album moving at breakneck speed, never allowing the listener a moment to catch their breath.

Cheap Thrills is a timeless masterpiece that captures the essence of both the psychedelic '60s and the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll. Big Brother & The Holding Company, along with the incomparable Janis Joplin, have created an album that is as exhilarating and electrifying today as it was over 50 years ago. Don't miss out on this exhilarating ride through the wild, wonderful world of Cheap Thrills.

Joplin's signature raspy voice captures the heartache and passion of a generation searching for meaning in a tumultuous time. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1967, catapulted them into the spotlight with tracks like "Piece of My Heart" and "Ball and Chain" becoming instant classics. The raw energy of their live shows solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting acts of the era. Despite their short-lived career, Big Brother & The Holding Company made a lasting impact on the music world. Their fusion of blues, rock, and psychedelia created a sound that resonated with audiences then and continues to do so today. So, whether you're a seasoned hippie or a music enthusiast looking to expand your horizons, Big Brother & The Holding Company are sure to take you on a wild ride through the psychedelic soundscape of the 60s.
