A 50th anniversary edition of the music classic, with fully updated discographies and new introductions from Greil Marcus and Dwight Garner
In this special 50th anniversary edition of the beloved Plume backlist staple first released in 1975,Mystery Train 's complex analysis of the relationship between rock 'n' roll music and America is given new life with updated discographies and new introductions by Greil Marcus and Dwight Garner.
Rather than providing a general overview of influential bands and artists, Marcus's definitive book focuses on just six: virtually unknown early rock 'n' roller Harmonica Frank; the country blues singer Robert Johnson; and some of the better-known musicians who followed---The Band, Sly Stone, Randy Newman, and Elvis Presley.
This is the original book to take these rock legends and place them in the American culture of their time. And now, in 2025, Mystery Traincontinues its groundbreaking work for a new generation of readers and music lovers.
