Praised by Robbie Robertson of The Band as "a classic & a
ticket to ride," "The Rose & the Briar" assembles an
astonishing group of writers and artists: Paul Muldoon, Stanley
Crouch, R. Crumb, Jon Langford of the Mekons, Sharyn McCrumb, Luc
Sante, Joyce Carol Oates, Dave Marsh, and more than a dozen other
novelists, essayists, performers, and critics; to explore the
ineffable power of the American ballad. From "Barbara Allen"
through "The Wreck of the Old 97" to contemporary ballads by Bob
Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, "The Rose & the Briar" is, as
Geoffrey O'Brien hailed in the "Los Angeles Times" Book Review, "a
book full of internal echoes and provocative coincidences,"
featuring "historical investigation, shamanistic trance-journey,
memoir, novella and cartoon," where "names and costumes change,
soldiers become cowboys, demon lovers become backwoods murderer;
the voices are unmistakably distinct but they share a common
ground."
