Andrew writes of this song: " She (Janis Joplin) did some funny vocal work on "Mr. Natural". That's her cackling voice you hear back in the mix. Janis was amazed when I brought "Mr. Natural" into the rehearsal room, our living room, at Lagunitas, because the tune was much more worked out than the usual Big Brother tunes."
