Description
Janis Joplin's legendary rise to fame was witnessed by John Byrne Cooke, who was at the center of it all. As a member of D.A. Pennebaker's film crew, he captured Janis's astonishing breakout performances at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967.
Cooke went on to become Janis's road manager for her band Big Brother and the Holding Company, accompanying her on tours across North America and Europe, including a famous train trip across Canada. This intimate memoir tells the story of Cooke's time with Janis, from her early days to her tragic final days.
With unparalleled access to Janis's inner circle, Cooke shares an unvarnished account of her life on the road, behind the scenes at some of the most iconic performances of the 1960s. A unique and fascinating perspective on one of rock music's most enduring legends.
