In 1967, as the new sound of rock and roll was taking over popular music, John Byrne Cooke was at the center of it all. As a member of D.A. Pennebaker’s film crew, he witnessed the astonishing breakout performances of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix at the Monterey Pop Festival that June. Less than six months later, he was on a plane to San Francisco, taking a job as road manager for Janis and her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company. From then on, Cooke was Joplin’s road manager amid a rotating cast of musicians and personnel, a constant presence behind the scenes as the woman called Pearl took the world by storm.

I love listening to rock ‘n’ roll musician biographies and autobiographies. I have listened too many but I must say of all the biographies I have listened to this rendition by the author John Byrne Cooke is one of the best if not the best I have ever heard. Being in the music business I resonated with his perspective as a road manager and I am deeply moved. I saw Janis in concert in 1969 in Madison Wisconsin. It was unforgettable and to read this all these years later has given me a new perspective. I realized now why I had so many young women felt connected to Janis during those formative years of our lives. Well done John.
