Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Janis hit this period under sudden fame pressure, and Cheap Thrills caught her right before she left the band and pushed into solo stardom.
-
Band Drama This was Big Brother’s last album with Janis, so the record lands like a breakthrough and a breakup at the same time.
-
Album Art Columbia killed the band’s naked-in-bed cover idea; R. Crumb drew the comic art, and Janis pushed to get it used on the front.
