New Year's Day's link includes place for musician (5,6)

I believe the answer is:

janis joplin

'musician' is the definition.

'new year's day's link includes place' is the wordplay.
'new year's day's' becomes 'janis' (resembles Jan pst).
'link' becomes 'join' (join is a kind of link).
'includes' indicates putting letters inside.
'place' becomes 'pl' (I've seen this in other clues).
'join' placed around 'pl' is 'joplin'.
'janis'+'joplin'='JANIS JOPLIN'

'for' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
