A terrific read for both the novice and longtime enthusiast of the American Ballad, The Rose and the Briar is a compilation of non-academic essays as well as impressionistic takes on chosen material. We get a lyrical poem by Paul Muldoon inspired by "The Unfortunate Rake" and a four page illustration by painter/musician Jon Langford ("See Willy Fly By"), as well as a comic strip by R. Crumb ("When You Go A'Courtin'"). The essays themselves vary in nature and quality, but are always pretty accessible and without erudite postures. Rennie Sparks's thoughtful, intellectual but overtly PC analysis of "Pretty Polly" is fascinating and informative, while Howard Hampton's discussion of "Nebraska" contextualizes Bruce Springsteen's take on the Starkweather/Fugate murders with the broader cultural and historical perspective (court documents, the film "Badlands"), elucidating why both the story and the song are so enchanting in the way only American lore can be. Overall, a great read. Of all the books that Greil Marcus has had a hand in producing, this is by far my favorite. There is also a CD sold separately with recordings of the songs discussed and interpreted. Most of the songs are interesting if not essential material, with the exception of John Cougar Mellencamp doing "Wreck of the Old 97." Why on God's green earth would they choose him over Woody Guthrie, The Carter Family or even Johnny Cash?
