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.
