Description: Good. While this book has some edge wear, a fair amount of pencil underlining, the pages have toned some with age and its cover has a few stress marks, it is otherwise in decent shape. It is tight and has an uncreased spine. While slightly shelf cocked, the book is solidly bound and sports a clean, lustrous cover--you'll somersault exuberantly when this book gets to you! ! ! read more

"A whole book about one (double) record album. Of course, if there were ever an album that you could right so much about, The Basement Tapes would be it. Still, it seems that the author reads an awful lot into what Dylan and the band say was often spontaneous humor. That's the post modern approach, I guess."
"It's typical Marcus, with its leaning toward the epic/mythic side of things (and Marcus's related ability to write it so well that you get carried to that scope in your thinking, too). The section on Dock Boggs is esp. interesting."
"Typically wide-ranging riff from Marcus on the hidden currents of Appalachian folk music and how they found their way into the 1960s culture via Dylan."
