Mullen on a lifelong journey into the sprawling Arcadia of American music. That music fused so-called civilized elements with native forms to produce everything from Zydeco to Conjunto to jazz to Woody Guthrie. The civilized/native idea, meanwhile, helped develop Mullen''s critical perspective, guide his love of music, and steer his life''s work. Part scholar''s musings and part fan''s mem.
