Most important [Cooke] gets Janis right, and I can feel her and she is alive when I read... It is truly an impressive, masterful, and heartfelt piece of work.
Dave Getz, Big Brother and the Holding Company
I just finished reading this engrossing book and really loved it... Being a professional musician as well as professional writer allowed John to understand and explain Janiss growth as a rock-and-roll singer... Quite a story.
Peter Albin, Big Brother and the Holding Company
The best book about Janis. The second best book about Janis, and I dont know what that would be, is not even close... This is quite an achievement... Bravo.
Sam Andrew, Big Brother and the Holding Company
Joplin emerges as someone we all might like to have known.
Kirkus Reviews
It was 1967, the Summer of Love. The spotlight shone on Janis Joplin, and road manager Byrne Cooke saw it allnot to mention Woodstock in 1969, the Festival Express train trip across Canada, and even Joplins tenth high school reunion... The story of the woman who skyrocketed to fame as the first female rock superstar and left it at a tragically young agefrom someone who had a front-row seat.
New York Post
As Janiss lawyer throughout her short career and as executor of her estate, I can attest that John Byrne Cooke has captured the true essence of Janis in his extraordinary book... She was indeed the warm and wise, unpretentious and compassionate person that John describes.
Bob Gordon
[Cooke] write[s] about Joplins music with not only the critical precision of an expert but also the unmitigated joy of a peer who knows exactly how amazing her talent as a singer and performer really was... Poignant and important... The most thorough exploration written about Joplins life.
Publishers Weekly
Cookes book is a valuable insight into the performer as a living, breathing person, with her own all-too-human strengths and vulnerabilities. The author may be one of the few people left in the world with that kind of perspective on her, so its a good thing that he is a gifted writer, letting Joplins vivaciousness and intensity shine throughout the work.
Library Journal
An insightful and well-organized rundown of people, places, and events. Its beautiful. John got it rightall the ups and downs, contradictions, reverential whacky, the whole rolling, tumbling sense of the time. Janis came alive again, visiting me disguised as tears. Johns unsparing honesty, attention to detail, and overall storytelling chops are worthy of enormous pride.
Howard Hesseman, of The Committee, WKRP in Cincinnati, and Head of the Class
Cookes memoir... is sharp when it comes to dissecting Joplins progress as a musician.
The Daily Beast
The tired old joke If you remember the 60s, you werent really there is not true in Cookes case. He was there and remembers them well for all of us who might have missed a few beats.
