Sam Andrews (guitarist, Big Brother And The Holding Company) : Janis definitely had a talent for writing, especially lyrics," states Andrew. "She wrote a lot of things, but 'Turtle Blues' is a representative example of her writing. Songwriting for Big Brother was a very democratic process. Someone would come up with an idea, and we would all comment on it. I usually would bring in a song more or less finished.
