Description: Using a handful of artists , this book interprets the American Dream in rigorous prose, touching on myth, landscape and oral tradition.
Synopsis: Greil Marcus' 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.
