Förlagets beskrivning
}In 1972, Stonehill Books published David Dalton's Janis, a multimedia
extravaganza that incorporated interviews, quotes, photographs, lyrics, Rolling
Stone Clippings, sheet music, a record of rapping and singing, and prose as
wild and moving as Janis's performances. Piece of My Heart is a reconstruction
and revision of that early work - one of the first "rock 'n' roll" booksleaving
the prose and interviews intact, adding dozens of new photos, and incorporating
a wealth of new material. Here is the best possible portrait of the lonely
teenager from Port Arthur, Texas, who took the blues farther than anyone before
or since, offering revealing glimpses of her on the roadbackstage with Jerry
Lee Lewis, kidnapped in Kansas, partying with the Grateful Dead, the Band,
Bonnie and Delaney, and with her own band, Big Brother and the Holding Company.
But Piece of My Heart goes beyond Janis's own story to provide us with a
portrait of the Kosmic Blues themselvesthe self destruction that lies at the
heart of the rock' n' roll myth. } A portrait of the lonely teenager from Port Arthur, Texas, who had such an
impact on the art of singing the blues, drawn through interviews, quotes,
photographs and song lyrics. Her life on the road, the bands she sang with, and
her self-destructive instinct are described.
