From Library Journal:
Dalton tries to unravel the twisted life of rock singer Janis Joplin, basing the ac count on his interviews with the singer during a 1970 tour. He organizes the book into discrete chapters: some com pare Joplin to the likes of Bessie Smith and Zelda Fitzgerald; another casts her as the prototype of the liberated wom an; many contain heavy doses of the singer's drunken prattle; and a few in terviews occasionally touch the roots of her riveting rock-blues. Dalton inter sperses over 60 rare and interesting pho tos among the short chapters. Though at times Dalton hints at an explanation for Joplin's blues-drenched rock, much of the book is little more than sophomoric fluff; some of the material has already appeared in print. Recommended pri marily for the photos. David Szat mary, Continuing Education Dept., Univ. of Washington, Seattle
