"Should be read by anybody who cares about America or its music."The New York TimesCritic after critic has called this brilliant study of rock 'n' roll and American culture "the best book ever written" on the subject. Greil Marcus is working "determinedly and proudly in the tradition of such groundbreaking works as Leslie Fiedler's Love and Death in the American Novel and D.H. Lawrence's Studies in Classic American Literature," said the Village Voice, and writing as well, said Rolling Stone, "in a way that is true to rock music itself."Focusing on six artists"Ancestors" Robert Johnson and Harmonica Frank and "Inheritors" Sly Stone, The Band, Randy Newman and Elvis Presley, Marcus has, in the words of Kirkus Reviews, captured "our most potent images and archetypesthe jester and the guilty Puritan, Huck Finn and Captain Ahab arguing over the stakes of life in Americaits possibilities, limits, openings, traps." "As a critic," wrote Jon Landau in Rolling Stone, "Marcus has taken stylistic, intellectual and creative risks in writing so original and ambitious a book on both America and rock & 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.""A book about the American character and the American soul; as such it is the best thing I have read in ages. . . There is no more illuminating book in print on our condition today."Ralph Gleason, The San Francisco Chronicle,
