AllMusic Review by Joe Viglione [-]
The debut, self-titled album from Big Brother & the Holding Company is an evolving paradigm, ten tracks initially issued on Mainstream Records, a label that would have success in 1968 with "Journey to the Center of the Mind" by Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes. Respectable performances from Janis Joplin and Big Brother & the Holding Company, despite being recorded in a rush on December 12, 13, and 14 of 1966, Big Brother's strength sans Janis was their ability to experiment and rely heavily on ideas to make up for their lack of musical prowess. A potential science fiction song, "Light Is Faster Than Sound" contains some interesting sounds and there's a Classic, Moondog's "All Is Loneliness" (the street poet eventually signing with Columbia himself), and Joplin's creative arrangement of "Down on Me," makes it a deep musical experience. It was the lack of product from superstar Janis Joplin which kept putting an emphasis on this release with little else available to satisfy rabid fans who couldn't get enough Janis.price rating
