· After a relatively obscure indie debut album, Big Brother s unforgettable appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival led to CHEAP THRILLS, their major label bow. Its R. Crumb cover art made it a visual standout, but the visceral power contained within heralded Janis Joplin s arrival as a new countercultural blues-rock diva. Partially recorded live at San Francisco s Fillmore, CHEAP THRILLS showed Joplin s affinity for the blues, as she effortlessly covered the standard Summertime as well as her heroine Big Mama Thornton s Ball & Chain. Band conflicts caused by Joplin s high profile within the group resulted in her leaving soon afterward for a solo career.
