Love, Janis is a collection, released in 2001, of Janis Joplin's performances interspersed with readings of her personal letters to her family throughout her career. It is a companion to the stage show of the same title (conceived, adapted and directed by Randal Myler) and the book by Joplin's sister Laura.
