from joe's website
From 1972 till 1973, Joe led a group known as the "All Star Band"; it featured members of Big Brother and the Holding Company (David Getz and Peter Albin), an LA favorite from the 60's United States of America (Dorothy Moskovitz), at times former Fish Barry Melton and players from the Bay Area.
At its best during the Fete de L'Humanite in Paris * it had eight members but for most of its life it was a quartet. This group was recorded live at the Fete and a recording of "Sweet Marie" appeared on the 1990 Vanguard release The Best Of Country Joe: The Vanguard Years.
Also recorded with this group was Joe's 1973 Vanguard album Paris Sessions. A raw direct release, it remains a favorite of many of Joe's fans notably for the feminist (or maybe not feminist) song "Sexist Pig." The All Star Band and some of the songs from this period did not endear Joe to many of his fans. Like some of his earlier material, the songs he performed and wrote were a reflection of changing times. The women's movement had become viable and by adding women to his band, he hoped it would at least indicate to others that they were no different as musicians than men. In 1990 this is commonplace, but in the early 70s it was quite outrageous. Joe spent most of 1974 living in Europe, mostly in Paris where he had friends he had met in Berkeley. The more liberal European artist climate did not prepare him for the conditions he returned to.
He found himself banned from appearing at most municipal buildings due to the "Fish Cheer" and a reputation of a performer with an "attitude," mostly due to outspoken political views, and his to the point, but off-color topical songs.
