Everything about Invisible Republic totally explained
Invisible Republic, fully entitled
Invisible Republic Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes by author
Greil Marcus, is a treatise on the creation and cultural importance of
The Basement Tapes, a series of recordings by
Bob Dylan made during
1967 in collaboration with musicians who would subsequently be known as
The Band. Published by
Henry Holt,
New York in
1997,
ISBN 0-8050-5842-7. Subsequently re-published and re-titled as
The Old, Weird America by same publisher in
2001.
The new title significantly derives from the name of one of the chapters in the book devoted to analysis of the
Anthology of American Folk Music compiled by
Harry Smith, reissued by
Smithsonian Folkways on
compact disc in the same year as the initial publication, with portions of the chapter excerpted in the new
liner notes. Much of Marcus' thesis regarding the Basement Tapes involves linkage to this work, Dylan and company resurrecting the spirit of the Anthology recordings from the late
1920s and early
1930s of songs already at least decades old at the time. Linkages also include the
First Great Awakening, the folk music revival of the
1950s, Dylan's 1966 tour with the same backing musicians, the
Civil Rights Movement, and the history of
coal strikes in
West Virginia.
