Cheap Thrills (Re-release Bonus Tracks)- Big Brother & the Holding Company

Psychedelic and blues rock.

Now, obviously, this one benefits heavily from its 3 cover songs ("Summertime," "Piece of my heart" and "Ball and chain") and Janis Joplin's incredible capacity to put her energy in just about everything she did. She really knew how to render covers! Otherwise, the first few notes of "Combination of the two" and its Whoa, whoa, ahh, have got to convince you to listen to the rest. "I need a man to love," "Turtle blues" and "Magic of love (live)" are other great songs. But "Piece of my heart" remains the best pearl in the lot.    Pearl
