Summary: Janis is a must hear, must read, must see!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: If you only know one Janis song, 17, you are going to be blown away. ALL her songs are great. I am 47. When I put this CD in the player, my kids 8 and 12 years old, argue about which song to play first. My husband loves her too. Buy the CD and her book, Society's Child, and then go to her web site to see when she is going to be within a few hours drive so that you can see her in concert. We saw her last week, twice, and were blown away. She is not only a great musician, but also very funny and entertaining. Go to janisian.com and check out her web site. You can never have too much Janis! When you start reading her book, you won't be able to put it down. She has been to hell and back and instead of turning into a bitter woman, she just kept making beautiful music and sharing and giving to the world.

Summary: I love Janis Ian
Comment: As I was reading the autobiography and feeling so connected to Janis, I just couldn't wait to pick up this GREAT CD!!
She was so open as she wrote her autobiography, she really made you feel like you were with her for the ride.
Society's Child: My Autobiography
I have to admit, I grew up with Janis, I do have a couple of her old records, yes, records, but had not thought about her until I saw her on stage at Falcon Ridge folk Festival. It was the performance the day before the fierce thunder and hail storms!
Thank you Janis for this wonderful new but old, CD!! buy it with the book!!

Summary: Stars they come and go
Comment: And yet, some burn steadily. You just have to wait til the winds of time blow the haze away.
I've loved Janis Ian's work since "Society's Child." She was brilliant early and she's still shining.
This current offering is the companion to her autobiography, following the book chapter by chapter. You've got some expected tunes, some rarities. All of it is good quality and at 31 songs in a 2-disk set, Janis Ian gives you a good value for your dollar.
A must for Ian fans and an excellent introduction to an artist whose work has shone ever since her youth.

Summary: Sums it up in one great collection
Comment: Janis is clever with adding a song title to every chapter of her new autobiography, ironically named "Society's Child"...which makes the cd and the book sequential, so to speak....bonus tracks on the cd, great artwork and quotes from this amazing book which I have yet toreview...
Thank you Janis!
