Mystery Train
Mystery Train: Images of America in Rock 'n' Roll Music | Greil Marcus
2 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Greil Marcus's study of American rock 'n' roll is justly regarded as one of the most accomplished examples of contemporary music writing. Using a handful of artists -- a brace of bluesmen, The Band, Sly Stone, Randy Newman and Elvis Presley -- Marcus illuminates and interprets the American Dream in rigorous prose, touching on myth, landscape and oral tradition. The result is an invigorating and wholly original study -- here in its revised, sixth edition -- that remains a high watermark in cultural criticism.

Blues grew out of the need to live in the brutal world that stood ready in ambush the moment one walked out of the church.
