	Janis Ian.Com : Prose and Stories by Janis Ian
		Asked to write a short story from the viewpoint of a non-human, Janis responded by penning a series of letters to the editor of this anthology, Mike Resnick.
		"This dazzling, highly original anthology, ignited by the meeting of songwriter Ian and a host of SF writers affected by her music at the 2001 Worldcon, showcases 30 mostly superior stories, each based on one of her songs.

	Janis Ian Criticism
		Janis Ian is for the trendies one of the most exciting, red-hot writer/performers in pop at the moment; for the rest of us she's definitely here to stay.
		[Janis Ian] has proved herself to be one of the most important writer-performers of the Seventies, and she looks at and into you from the cover photo with a veiled stare that can X-ray a situation, the people in it, and the probable outcome easily, knowingly, compassionately.
		Janis Ian was one of the authentic voices of the Sixties, one of the street kids who told it exactly as it was without any of the "poetic" trimmings.

	Janis Ian
		Ian was a child prodigy, shooting to sudden fame at 15 with her self-penned "Society's Child," about a white girl who succumbs to pressure and stops dating a fl boy.
		Ian decided to treat this as if it were her final album, and it is unusually personal.
		Characteristically, Ian's lyrics are ruthlessly precise and honest ("Mockingbird"), but this time they often don't connect: the title track (adapted from an early poem) strives to explain her fascination with Billie Holiday; "Matthew" is just another not particularly insightful rumination on Matthew Shepard's murder.

		Janis achieved her first hit with Society's Child, a song about racial discrimination, at the tender age of fifteen.

	Janis Ian: Hunger
		Janis Ian did not so much burst upon the music scene in 1967 as stand forlornly at its periphery, somberly reminding us that everybody was NOT somebody's baby, and life was not only the sunshine of the summer of love - awkwardness, loneliness and pain lurked in the shadows.
		But all is not bleak in Miss Ian's artistic vision; "Welcome To Acousticville" is an accomplished acoustic blues number, presented here as a live recording that is not without a wry sense of humor; the piece explores the unpredictability of whom fame will chose in the world of the blues artist.
		Janis Ian is all too familiar with the shadows, in both her personal life and her musical career.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Music: Billie's Bones, Janis Ian, CD
		Against a slow, bluesy vamp, Ian delivers her bittersweet thoughts on “what makes a man a man” in dulcet tones, getting her message across effectively rather than stridently.There are perhaps one or two songs here that feel superfluous, but Ian’s fans surely won’t complain.
		Janis Ian takes a more restrained approach, but the result is just as masterful on Billie's Bones, a collection of 13 songs recorded over three days in Nashville at Sound Emporium from June 9-11, 2003.
		This is not a "folk" album, the always creative Janis Ian finding different melodies on her guitar giving a distinct flavor to each tune and the bevy of thoughtful lyrics.

	Amazon.ca: Reviews for god & the fbi: Music: Janis Ian (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Janis Ian is back and has released one of her best works since "At Seventeen" and "Society's Child." The new CD features a blues twinged " God and The FBI" as its opening track.
		The truth I learned at 17 was that Janis Ian was going to a formidable musical force in my life, through re-invention and resurgence she has been with me for over thirty years and still she has the power to surprise.
		God and the FBI is a staggeringly good piece of work, with Janis' voice a virtuoso instrument easily encompassing the varying styles, from the haunting passion of She must be Beautiful to the electric insistence of When you love Someone, I was captivated anew.

		Here, on her first (and only) Capitol album after breaking the Verve contract, Ian experienced a wonderfully positive musical rebirth, which resulted in an extremely buoyant record both musically and spiritually.
		The album is also Ian's loosest affair, and this may have to do with ex-Youngblood Jerry Corbett's role in production and musicianship.
