Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 3rd Edition. Third Revised Edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "When it was first published in 1975, critic after critic called this brilliant study of rock 'n' roll and American culture the best book on the subject. Now, firmly established as a classic, an inspiration to a generation of musicians, fans, and writers, MYSTERY TRAIN has been revised and its delightful, informative Notes and Discographies updated and greatly expanded for this edition. Most would still agree with Rolling Stone that MYSTERY TRAIN is 'probably the best book ever written about rock.' [] The highlights of MYSTERY TRAIN are numerous, and a remarkable chapter about Elvis, called the 'Presliad,' is regarded by many as the most insightful writing we have about Presley. Even after Presley's death, Marcus's essay emerges from the hoopla and hysteria as a landmark in American cultural criticism, reaching 'a pitch of ecstasy, horror, and understanding' (Frank Rich, Village Voice). [] Focusing on six artists--'Ancestors' Robert Johnson and Harmonica Frank and 'Inheritors' Randy Newman, the Band, Sly Stone, and Presley--Marcus has, as Jon Landau wrote in Rolling Stone, 'taken stylistic, intellectual, and creative risks in writing so original and ambitious a book on both America and rock 'n' roll. Marcus has often quoted Robbie Robertson of the Band to the effect that music should never be harmless. The best thing about this wonderful book is that it never is.'" [publisher copy] "Gets as close to the heart and soul of America and American music as the best of rock 'n' roll."--Bruce Springsteen. "Should be read by anyone who cares about America or its music."--The New York Times. Fine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges (slight edgewear on top & fore edge), a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine; cover features evocative/tragic Elvis image by Ray Johnson. Quite presentable. Codice articolo RUB3065
