A propos de cet article

As new condition yellow boards, yellow spine, and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments; Notes; Bibliography; Index; Lyric Credits and About the Author. "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." - Rosanne Cash, four-time Grammy Award winner. "A rich, interestng 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. "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. "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. "Janis Joplin has passed into legend as an impassioned soul doomed by the pain that produced one of the most extraordinary voices in the history of rock 'n' roll. But this intimate new biography shows a woman in command, one who won her place in history by never compromising who she was and how she wanted to express herself. Joplin's first transgressive act was to be a white girl with an early passion for the blues. She stood out in her conservative Texas oil town as a tomboy who was intellectually curious and artistic, drawing the scorn of her peers for her embrace of the Beats and her progressive views. So many women of her era used beauty, privilege, or marriage to get a foothold in life, but Janis decided early on to use the truth of her emotions. Her success was no accident, and this is the story of her very intentional life. Like many groundbreaking artists, she was complicated: marked by her father's deep cosmic blues but determined to overcome them, a sexually shy teenager who later pushed the boundaries of sexuality, a lover who wanted to marry and settle down but couldn't or wouldn't. She was a musician who stumbled over her talent but then became determined to perfect it, a Texan who yearned to flee Texas but could never quite get away, even after becoming the queen of counter-cultural 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, bandmates, personal archives, and long lost interviews, Janis is a powerful portrait of an American pioneer - the ultimate woman who persisted, and who is finally getting her due." - from the inner front jacket flap.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
