Big Brother & The Holding Company - Big Brother & The Holding Company (1967)

"Bye, Bye Baby" by Big Brother & The Holding Company


Kris Kristofferson, on the wings of his newfound success, became one of the leading figures of the new country music singer-songwriter movement of the late sixties and early seventies.  His songs were in high demand to be covered by high profile country music stars and, in particular, one rock and roller who would become his girlfriend, Janis Joplin.

Joplin started her recording career as the lead singer of the San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother & The Holding Company.  Together, the band released their debut album Big Brother & The Holding Company in 1967.
