Ebook: The Old, Weird America: The World of Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes

Another country -- Time is longer than rope -- Basement noise -- The old, weird America -- Kill Devil Hills -- Get into the graveyard -- City on a hill -- Back to the world.;This is Greil Marcus's acclaimed book on the secret music made by Bob Dylan and the Band in 1967, which introduced a phrase that has become part of the culture: "the old, weird America." It is this country that the book maps--the "playground of God, Satan, tricksters, Puritans, confidence men, illuminati, braggarts, preachers, anonymous poets of all stripes" (Luc Sante, New York magazine). In honor of Dylan's seventieth birthday, this special edition includes a new introduction, an updated discography, and a cover featuring never-before-seen photographs of the legendary recording sessions [Publisher description].
