This album has merely got to be the gem in the crown of Joplin'south work. On the sleeve notes 'The Village Vocalisation' review describes Joplin existence for you "...Similar the daughter next door, but you live on the Lower East Side..."

For me, Joplin IS the streetwise hamlet phonation of those hot 'north smokey San Francisco nights of the period. She's the embodiment of the lyrics she sings, immersed in a liquor-soaked and gravel-voiced commitment, accentuated by crawly crystal-sweetness high notes, all wrapped up in a driving package that's supported past a ring who know what they're doing- and just where to do it. They had cut their teeth with an eponymous album on the Mainstream label but this adjacent piece of work, after signing with Albert Grossman, has the band really chewing hard and showing its class. The live recording of Ball And Chain captures the essence and spirit of where they were at in mid '68. The other half dozen tracks are studio numbers recorded at Columbia, although their clever engineering science piece of work provides a 'back room juke-joint' intensity to the performances.

There are no individual highlights on this anthology. The whole thing is a k-watt highlight, correct down to the iconic audio of breaking glass on Turtle Blues- no doubt an empty bottle of Southern Comfort that slipped from Joplin's grasp in a magical moment of vocal delivery...

Initially to be titled Dope, Sex, and Cheap Thrills, simply vetoed past the band'south management, Cheap Thrills is an album which captures that 'plough on, melody in, drop out' psychedelic San Francisco moment of the late 60s perfectly. The sleeve'due south "Approved by Hell'due south Angels - Frisco" logo and Robert 'Mr Natural' Nibble'south cover art simply adds to the thrill.
