In this authorized biography, the story of John Till (1945-2022) begins in small-town Stratford, Ontario, where a boy with music in his blood grew into a guitarist destined for history. From teenage jam sessions with Richard Manuel (later of the Band) to nights on the road with famed rock-and-roll singer Ronnie Hawkins, Till's playing carried him straight into the heart of rock's golden era.<br> Everything changed when Janis Joplin handpicked him for her band--first the Kozmic Blues Band, then her final, explosive Full Tilt Boogie Band. His guitar powered Joplin's legendary Woodstock performance as well as her final album, <em>Pearl</em>, forever tying his name to one of the greatest voices of a generation.<br> Based on numerous interviews conducted over the eight years leading up to Till's passing, this biography offers a deeply moving and intimate portrait of the gifted guitarist whose distinctive playing helped define and shape Janis Joplin's unforgettable, enduring musical sound.
