This is an extremely well researched timeline biography of one of the greatest female rock voices of the 60's and 70's.

This is not, by any means, an easy ride through her life. Janis Joplin lived and died tragically young- in the limelight under public scrutiny her struggles, abuses and successes are brought to life in this engrossing but tough read.

Music was Janis and Janis was her music is the best way to describe how the author tackled this biography. The 2 are inseparable; the one fueled the other and Holly George-Warren captures her life through both lenses seamlessly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
