![]() ![]() Till shortly convinced Joplin to hire his Full Tillt Boogie band in its entirety, and he agreed to drop one of the "L's" from its name, thus creating Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie backing band. Joplin was not happy touring with some of the group members, however, feeling them to be too "square," and the disappointing reviews of their 1969 album I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! led her to scrap everyone in the group except Till. This group, dubbed the Kozmic Blues Band, consisted of Till and several other Full Tillt Boogie Band members - all studio musicians that her label was familiar with and felt were reliable - plus a horn section. When Joplin's management convinced her to discard Big Brother and the Holding Company as her backing band, her record label put together a new group of musicians for her. Like Till, the other members of Full Tillt were Canadians, mostly hailing from Stratford-Woodstock, Ontario. In its original late 1960s incarnation, the Full Tillt Boogie Band (the two "L's" being a play on the spelling of Till's last name), Till fronted the group as a side project from his usual gigs as a New York City studio musician. The band was composed of Till, pianist Richard Bell, bassist Brad Campbell, drummer Clark Pierson, and organist Ken Pearson.
