Reviews
"This superb biography captures singer Janis Joplin's complex essence... Anyone who enjoys a good biography will appreciate this exceptional work." -- Library Journal (starred review), "Janis Joplin ripped through rock: an awesome and devastating tornado. With this heartbreaking and lovely book, Holly George-Warren re-calibrates our minds and ears to the heft and wonder of an American icon." -- Fred Goodman, author of Why Lhasa de Sela Matters, "Masterfully researched...the significance-establishing project Joplin appreciators have been waiting for." -- New York Times Book Review, "I've been waiting for the right person to write the definitive biography of Janis Joplin! All fans should be grateful it's finally here. Janis lives and breathes freedom and soul, and Holly George-Warren captures that spirit perfectly." -- Rosanne Cash, "Impressive... Like Joplin herself, Janis delivers the most thrilling sort of pathos." -- Texas Observer, "Illuminating... A top-notch biography of one of the greatest performers to emerge from a brilliant era." -- Kirkus (starred review), "Joplin fans rejoice! Holly George-Warren's biography is a triumph of passionate scholarship, thus making me love Janis--with all her baffling and brilliant complexity--even more." -- David Ritz, author of Respect: The Life of Aretha Franklin, "By far and away the most comprehensive and best-researched Joplin biography. It's an extraordinary life, set to a legendary rock death arc, but the triumph of Janis is that George-Warren understands that the evolution of Joplin's artistry is what matters most. Janis blossoms as she finds her voice onstage, and her act becomes something of great beauty. So too does George-Warren's book." -- Charles R. Cross, New York Times bestselling author of Room Full of Mirrors : A Biography of Jimi Hendrix, "Illuminating... George-Warren gives her subject a sensitive yet honest treatment, showing all dimensions of Joplin's life without minimizing her self-destructive side. Filled with evocations of the San Francisco music scene at its height... A top-notch biography of one of the greatest performers to emerge from a brilliant era." -- Kirkus (starred review), "Performs a service by stripping away a lot of the noise around Joplin... telling her story simply and well, with some of the tone and flavor of a good novel." -- New York Times Book Review, "By far and away the most comprehensive and best-researched Joplin biography. George-Warren constructs the "real" Joplin by building her life through letters, diaries, and countless interviews with associates. It's an extraordinary life, set to a legendary rock death arc, but the triumph of Janis is that George-Warren understands that the evolution of Joplin's artistry is what matters most. Janis blossoms as she finds her voice onstage, and her act becomes something of great beauty. So too does George-Warren's book." -- Charles R. Cross, New York Times bestselling author of Room Full of Mirrors : A Biography of Jimi Hendrix, "The definitive portrait of one of pop culture's most misunderstood martyrs... In dwelling so sympathetically on her tangle of talents, contradictions, and mythology, Janis brings one of rock's most enduring legends down to earth while holding her justly up to the light." -- NPR.org, "I've been waiting for the right person to write the definitive biography of Janis Joplin! All fans should be grateful it's finally here. Janis lives and breathes freedom and soul, and Holly George-Warren captures that spirit perfectly." -- Rosanne Cash, four-time Grammy Award winner, "George-Warren beautifully tells a moving story of a woman whose life and music inspired a generation." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "A rich, interesting portrayal of Janis. George-Warren has an engaging writing style, and I was impressed by the breadth of her new interviews and information." -- Laura Joplin, sister of Janis Joplin, "Joplin was called America's first female rock star, and George-Warren has written a biography as big, bold, and brash as its subject." -- Booklist (starred review), "Empathetic and thrilling. Like an investigative reporter, George-Warren has tracked down every detail of Janis's young life and influences, and with loving care she has given us rare insight into this genius musician." -- Kate Pierson, The B-52s

Synopsis
Longlisted for the 2020 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence This blazingly intimate biography of Janis Joplin establishes the Queen of Rock & Roll as the rule-breaking musical trailblazer and complicated, gender-bending rebel she was. Janis Joplin's first transgressive act was to be a white girl who gained an early sense of the power of the blues, music you could only find on obscure records and in roadhouses along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast. But even before that, she stood out in her conservative oil town. She was a tomboy who was also intellectually curious and artistic. By the time she reached high school, she had drawn the scorn of her peers for her embrace of the Beats and her racially progressive views. Her parents doted on her in many ways, but were ultimately put off by her repeated acts of defiance. Janis Joplin has passed into legend as a brash, impassioned soul doomed by the pain that produced one of the most extraordinary voices in rock history. But in these pages, Holly George-Warren provides a revelatory and deeply satisfying portrait of a woman who wasn't all about suffering. Janis was a perfectionist: a passionate, erudite musician who was born with talent but also worked exceptionally hard to develop it. She was a woman who pushed the boundaries of gender and sexuality long before it was socially acceptable. She was a sensitive seeker who wanted to marry and settle down--but couldn't, or wouldn't. She was a Texan who yearned to flee Texas but could never quite get away--even after becoming a countercultural icon in San Francisco. Written by one of the most highly regarded chroniclers of American music history, and based on unprecedented access to Janis Joplin's family, friends, band mates, archives, and long-lost interviews, Janis is a complex, rewarding portrait of a remarkable artist finally getting her due.
