Big Brother & The Holding Company (feat. Janis Joplin) - Cheap Thrills -

The explosive 1968 raw blues-rock tour de force that launched Janis Joplin into legendary rock icon status.

Originally released in August 1968 via Columbia Records, Cheap Thrills stands as the crowning masterpiece of San Francisco's late-60s psychedelic rock explosion. Credit goes to Big Brother & The Holding Company alongside the soaring, raw vocal power of Janis Joplin, whose soul-shattering performances captured the energy of their live concerts.
