Title: "Like a Ball and Chain..."
Product review: A classic release, that must be said. Big Brother & the Holding Company was a passable group at best, but Janis Joplin was something different entirely, singing every word like her life depended on it. Okay, we've established Janis was a great singer. But how's the material? Awesome. We all know and love Piece of My Heart and Ball and Chain, easily the two top songs on Cheap Thrills. But two more songs get the highest possible rating. First is Summertime. I've never really liked this tune, but the way Janis belts it out, I make an exception! Turtle Blues is a great blues song, again with Joplin's fine vocals. But every song on Cheap Thrills is strong, making this a must-have for sure
