Be a Brother/How Hard It Is

This two-fer from Acadia features a pair of out of print LPs by Big Brother & the Holding Company after vocalist Janis Joplin left the band. Originally issued on Columbia in 1970 and 1971, Be a Brother and How Hard It Is, aren't representative of the band at its best and can only be recommended to collectors. Casual listeners should stick with Cheap Thrills. ~ Al Campbell
