A modern classic, Greil Marcus' 'Mystery Train' illuminates and interprets the American Dream through its most apparent art form - rock'n'roll.
Greil Marcus's study of American rock and roll is universally acclaimed as the benchmark work of modern rock criticism. Using a handful of artists - a brace of bluesmen, The Nad, Sly Stone, Randy Newman and Elvis Presley - Marcus illuminates and interprets the American Dream in rigorous prose touching on the myth, landscape and oral tradition of the continent.
