Odds are better than even that you’ve never heard of the band unless you live in Marin County in California. You will know Dave’s first band of notoriety, Big Brother and the Holding Company, for which he began playing drums for back in the 60’s. He was with the band as they began to make a name and a following for themselves in the idyllic, flower power days in San Francisco. He was there when an unknown girl from south Texas wandered into the band’s life and worked her way in as their lead singer. The girl? Janis Joplin. The rest, as they say, is history.
The title song from the album were lyrics that she gave to Dave after hearing a riff that he was playing in a rehearsal studio. Not long after giving him the lyrics, she left the band for a solo career and an untimely death. The lyrics remained unrecorded until now, with two renditions of the tune: one opening the album and the other closing it. In between those two gems of the same song is a rich tapestry of musicianship from Big Brother mates Sam Andrew, Peter Albin and the late James Gurley. The vocals are provided mostly by the incredible Kathi McDonald as well as Andra Mitrovich, Sonny Walker and Lynn Asher. If you’re looking for “Son of Big Brother” project, forget it. While the work of BBHC stands on its own, this work by Getz is excellent in its own right and gives the legendary drummer plenty to be proud of.
