Description
“Iâ€ve been waiting for the right person to write the definitive biography of Janis Joplin! All fans
should be grateful itâ€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“The definitive
portrait of one of pop cultureâ€s most misunderstood martyrs… In dwelling so sympathetically on her
tangle of talents, contradictions, and mythology, Janis brings one of rockâ€s most enduring legends
down to earth while holding her justly up to the light.― — NPR.org “Gripping.― — Vanity Fair
“Revelatory.― — Bustle“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.
Itâ€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 Joplinâ€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-Warrenâ€s
book.― — Charles R. Cross, New York Times bestselling author of Room Full of Mirrors: A
Biography of Jimi Hendrix “Impressive... Like Joplin herself, Janis delivers the most thrilling sort of
pathos.― — Texas Observer“Empathetic and thrilling. Like an investigative reporter, George-Warren
has tracked down every detail of Janisâ€s young life and influences, and with loving care she has given us
rare insight into this genius musician.― — Kate Pierson, The B-52s“Exceptional.― —Â
No Depression “Illuminating… A top-notch biography of one of the greatest performers to emerge from
a brilliant era.― — Kirkus (starred review) Holly George-Warren is a two-time Grammy nominee and
the award-winning author of sixteen books, including the New York Times bestseller The Road to
Woodstock (with Michael Lang) and the biographies Janis: Her Life and Music, A Man Called

Autry. She has written for a variety of publications, including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The
