I think you would have to call Big Brother a blues band wouldn't you?

of course they were also a blues band, but listen to the album (or cd set) "pearl", "move over" and "tell mama" are deffinatly out there. the influance from the san fransisco scene is throughout all their music imo.

Don't forget Iron Butterfly
Iron Butterfly - the first cheap pirate cassette tape I bought in a outdoor sidewalk storefront in Japan 20 years ago. One of the first phonograph records I ever had and which I played very loudly anytime I was lucky enough to have the family home to myself. And the first CD I ever bought. AH, good times. 8)
Enjoy your karma, after all you earned it.

You are correct Pearl was Janice's solo effort after she left Big Brother. Big Brother and the Holding Company was a Blues Band. In they're early days they where the house band for Hells Angels functions. A lot of beer drinking fall down in the mud music. :wink:

just bought an Emerson Lake and Palmer dvd, "beyond the beginning" some great footage of the crazy world of arthur brown and King Crimson. Emerson goes nuts on playing the organ upside down and suspended in mid air playing a grand piano thats doing 360's, awesome stuff. I love the 21st Century Schizoid man riff.
Thinkin' bout the times we had
Some were good and some were bad
guitar fightin' the tv
i was thinkin bout you and me
I stand corrected as i was going by memory i forgot Pearl was after Janis left big brother (my bad), but to say that BB & the Holding Company were not also considered a psychodelic band is flat out wrong. (imo)
James Gurley was refered to by Guitar Player magazine as "The Father of Psychedelic Guitar.
"Evolving out of the San Francisco rock scene of the mid-1960s, Big Brother was in the forefront of the psychedelic music movement."

I don't argue at all that they were also a blues band, but you would be hard pressed to find a psychedelic band that wasn't blues influenced.

And though it's arguable that Santana was psychedelic, they were originally named the Santana Blues Band.
Maybe the blues and bourbon isn't so far from the blues and windowpane?
Not...that I'd know about these things.
