	Big Brother and the Holding Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Big Brother and the Holding Company is a rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1965 as part of the psychedelic music scene that also produced the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.
		The original members of the band are Sam Andrew and James Gurley on guitars, Peter Albin on bass and Chuck Jones on drums, who was replaced by Dave Getz in 1966.
		Their second album, Cheap Thrills, reached the top of the charts in 1968; this album produced Joplin's breakthrough hit, "Piece of My Heart", whose chorus would form the basis for Alive N Kickin''s later one-hit wonder "Tighter, Tighter".

	Big Brother & The Holding Company - Music Downloads - Online
		Big Brother was formed in 1965 in the Haight-Ashbury; by the time Joplin joined in mid-1966, the lineup was Sam Andrew and James Gurley on guitar, Peter Albin on bass, and David Getz on drums.
		But Big Brother wasn't superfluous to the effort, interpreting folk and blues with an inventive (if sometimes sloppy) eclecticism that often gave way to distorted guitar jamming, and matching Joplin's passion with a high-spirited, anything-goes ethos of their own.
		Big Brother catapulted themselves into national attention with their performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, particularly with Joplin's galvanizing interpretation of "Ball and Chain" (which was a highlight of the film of the event).

	Big brother & the Holding Company
		"Big Brother and the Holding Company was a prime example of a band where the chemistry was right, where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.

		Janis debuted with Big Brother on June 10, 1966, at the Avalon Ballroom.

		In 2003, the album was ranked number 338 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

		Big Brother’s big breakthrough was also the beginning of their downfall.
		Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Grateful Dead, the Who, the Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding and the Jimi Hendrix Experience were the ones that really won over the crowd.
		Big Brother’s music was always full of excitement and fear, joy and pain and some of the best damn vocals you’ll ever hear.

		A picture of Big Brother inside the gatefold has the band glowing with heavenly light; the cover photo is more telling, with faceless men standing in the shadows.
		Big Brother would do well to continue in the more bluesy direction this album pointed to rather than perform Janis Joplin's hits in small clubs.
		How Hard It Is and the album that preceded it, Be a Brother, are very musical and very good albums, but they just don't have the electric majesty of Cheap Thrills, an album that took their wildness and used it as an incredible bed for Joplin's truly cosmic vocal work and emotion.

	DVD review of Big Brother And The Holding Company With Janis Joplin: Nine Hundred Nights - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A small, relatively obscure band from the 1960s, Big Brother was propelled to stardom in the commercial hit “Monterey Pop,” a festival that brought together the best folk/rock/psychedelic artists of the age, from a pre-coffee-and-flannel Seattle and San Francisco, and put them on one stage to expand the minds and horizons of the audience.
		Much like the rest of the world, Big Brother and the Holding Company might not stick in your mind, but you’re not likely to forget the brilliant uniqueness that was Janis Joplin, and the filmmakers knew she was the star of the ensemble who was waiting to hit her stride.
		Some critical bits are glossed over, mainly later in the bands career, like how their first major studio album sold, what happened and what the band went through after Janis left, and what each player has done since their time in Big Brother and the Holding Company.

		In 1946 Alan Lomax invited the great ballad singer Texas Gladden, of Saltville, Virginia, and her brother, mountain Renaissance instrumentalist Hobart Smith (fiddle, guitar, banjo, and piano), to perform with Andrew Rowan Summers and Jean Ritchie at the McMillan Theater at Columbia University as part of a larger festival put on by the university.
		Big Bill Broonzy, 1952 The great and versatile singer and guitarist Big Bill Broonzy (1893?1958) was a major figure in the Chicago blues scene in the thirties and early forties and was probably the first to bring the blues to European audiences in the 1950s.
		This collection, originally on 1.5 Irish brand recording tapes) was the basis of the seven album Southern Heritage series issued on Altantic Records in 1960 (reissued on CD as Sounds of the South) and the 12-album Prestige International Southern Journey released in 1961 (reissued in expanded form on CD on Rounder Records).

		The next song was one of the many on the album that were banned from radio airplay because it was judged to be "obscene".

	Amazon.com: Cheap Thrills: Music: Big Brother & Holding Company,Janis Joplin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		One of the most eagerly awaited albums in rock history, Big Brother & the Holding Company's 1968 major label debut (they'd previously released one thinly produced collection on the small Mainstream label) made good on all the hype generated by Janis Joplin's amazing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival the year before.
		She left the band four short months after "Cheap Thrills." It's a shame, because Big Brother's ramshackle and reckless playing was uniquely attuned to the explosive dynamics of Joplin's "take-no-prisoners" approach to blues singing.
		Big Brother "was" Joplins' band, for all intents and purposes.

	Live in San Francisco 1966 - Big Brother & Holding Company (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Big Brother drummer David Getz's liner notes (written in the mid-80s, perhaps for the original vinyl issue of this material) provide an evocative description of how the band's early communal living helped forge their unity as performers.
		By the time they released their second album ("Cheap Thrills") two years later, the band would have more original material, but at this point in their career they were still relying heavily on R&B and blues standards.
		Those looking for an introduction to Joplin and Big Brother are probably better served by "Cheap Thrills." Those wishing to look more deeply into the band's history will find this a compelling document.

		Joplin and Big Brother had earned extensive press notice ever since they played the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, but their only recorded work was a poorly produced, self-titled Mainstream album, and they spent a year getting out of their contract with Mainstream in order to sign with Columbia while demand built.
		Big Brother's backup, typical of the guitar-dominated sound of San Francisco psychedelia, made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in precision.
		But everybody knew who the real star was, and Joplin played her last gig with Big Brother while the album was still on top of the charts.

	Bette Midler: The Rose (1979)
		Bette Midler is a star perpetually evolving into icon, and this album's success, as well as the two hit singles it spawned, certainly helped the film, as much as the movie brought Midler to a new level of fame.
		On listening to a preliminary copy of the soundtrack album (Atlantic SO 16010), I felt that, as with Streisand's A Star Is Born, the music was a Hollywoodized idea of rock- 'n'-roll.
		Midler more than holds her own, but sometimes, on Midnight in Memphis, for instance, she is up to her navel in instrumentals.

		It was at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival that Big Brother gained their first glimpse of national fame.
		She was quickly able to rise to success as a solo artist; however, many argue that she was never able to produce the amount of quality material that was present on her collaboration with Big Brother.

		Moondog's second Prestige album solidified his standing as a rare breed: a musician whose work was both highly experimental and approachable by listeners without a taste for the avant-garde.
		On this album he produced a variety of wonderful shaking percussion sounds and rhythms with an oo (a triangular stringed instrument struck with a clave) and even "Ostrich Feathers Played on Drum" (as the title on one track reads).
		The album is now available as part of a single-disc CD reissue that also includes the whole of his subsequent Prestige album, The Story of Moondog (1957).

		Though her searing voice is featured as the lead in several songs, she was close to being a back up singer on many here, and, considering what followed, it is thrilling to hear her in her then almost anonymous glory.
