What is Janis : Her Life and Music about?

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
