Bob Dylan Night: “The Old, Weird America” | The Booksmith

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Previously published as Invisible Republic and already considered a classic of modern American cultural criticism, The Old, Weird America is Greil Marcus’s widely acclaimed book on the secret music (the so-called “Basement Tapes”) made by Bob Dylan and the Band while in seclusion in Woodstock, New York, in 1967 — a folksy yet funky, furious yet hilarious music that remains as seductive and baffling today as it was more than thirty years ago.

One of America’s most original and incisive critics of pop music and pop culture, Greil Marcus is the author of Double Trouble, Dead Elvis, Lipstick Traces, and Mystery Train. He lives in Berkeley.
