Mystery Train
Images of America in Rock ’n’ Roll Music
Book • 2015
Published in 1975, Mystery Train is a groundbreaking collection of six taut, probing essays that examine how certain popular and forgotten musicians represent deeper American cultural myths and values.
Rather than offering purely musical or historical analysis, Marcus discusses performers as representatives of American culture, exploring the subterranean underlife of America as reflected in rock 'n' roll music.
The book was named one of the 100 greatest nonfiction books of all time by Time magazine in 2011.
