First published in 1982, William Least Heat-Moon's account of his journey along the back roads of the United States (marked with the color blue on old highway maps) has become something of a classic. When he loses his job and his wife on the same cold February day, he is struck by inspiration: "A man who couldn't make things go right could at least go. He could quit trying to get out of the way of life. Chuck routine. Live the real jeopardy of circumstance. It was a question of dignity."
Driving cross-country in a van named Ghost Dancing, Heat-Moon (the name the Sioux give to the moon of midsummer nights) meets up with all manner of folk, from a man in Grayville, Illinois, "whose cap told me what fertilizer he used" to Scott Chisholm, "a Canadian citizen ... [who] had lived in this country longer than in Canada and liked the United States but wouldn't admit it for fear of having to pay off bets he made years earlier when he first 'came over' that the U.S. is a place no Canadian could ever love." Accompanied by his photographs, Heat-Moon's literary portraits of ordinary Americans should not be merely read, but savored.

Makes me want to buy a truck and hit the road.......2007-08-16
This author speaks to the yearning in many of us to "hit the road" and not only see what our amazing country is all about, but also to see what we're all about. It's typical in some ways: snapshots of various odd and lovely and not-so-lovely places along America's disappearing back roads. We not only see these places vividly, but also meet the lively and unusual people the author encounters. I don't know if such a journey is possible these days. It seems like we're running out of blue highways and that franchise eateries and stores are taking over even the out-of-the-way places. The book makes me want to hurry up, to buy that truck and put a mattress in the back -- before it's too late. Well-written, entertaining, thought-provoking: this is a timeless book about a timeless journey.
A Roadtrip Classic.......2007-08-11
A man in search of himself aka "the Rand McNally approach to self-discovery" (T. McGuane). After he loses his job and his marriage falls apart, Least Heat-Moon hits the road for a 3 month odyssey around the country (makes sense to me!). He equips his van for sleeping and cooking, takes 400 bucks and two books (Leaves of Grass & Black Elk Speaks) with him, and heads out for some clarity. His only agenda is to stay off the Interstates and seek out an America that is/has rapidly faded away.
This book has some faint echoes of "Travels with Charley" and "On the Road"; yet the philosophical musings and colorful character profiles in these pages sets it far apart from any other similar travel book.
Least Heat-Moon's wit is lean and engaging; his honest depictions of the people & places he encounters; and the manifold keen observations as he's driving down the back roads of this country, are the meat & potatoes of this wonderful book. He writes well and metaphorically; this is a good mix of the poetic & the philosophical.
The voice of the storyteller is this man's gift to the rest of us. This is one of those first books that blows out of nowhere, grabbing you and not letting go until the last page has been digested. Least Heat-Moon's poetic descriptions of the landscapes he drives through mixed with the interior terrain he muses his way through blend together very well.
This book registers very high on the reading enjoyment meter.
Extracts: A Field Guide for Iconoclasts
You either love it or hate it........2007-07-01
I have mixed emotions on this one.
The reason I gave 3 stars was that it was the average
of the lovers and haters.
Try reading these two books for a comparison.
1) Home Country by Ernie Pyle
2) Gasoline Gypsy by Irene Thomas
Remember: Opinions are like elbows. Almost everybody has at least one!
HIghly recommended.......2007-06-28
Although it is not obvious that that America still exists this book makes for pleasurable reading. I enjoyed greatly.
Blue Highways Sometimes wanders.......2007-03-10
When I first started to read Blue Highways, I was expecting a travelogue but quickly realized that it was the story of man in search of what life is all about and how different people see and cope with life. The travel was interesting and so were the people he met along the way. However he wishes to give the impression that he is of the people but writes like he is way above them. At times I felt that I needed to read the book with a dictionary beside me. I would have liked him to come to some conclusions about his life by the end of the book.

If you love blues you'll love this!.......2003-09-30
Read this and you'll soon be packing your bags and heading for the Blues Highway. A great book, full of detail but entertaining too. Highly recommended to anyone who loves blues and jazz or just loves great American road trips!
Read this and you'll want to make the trip.......2003-09-24
I bought this book after hearing a great review on NPR, thinking I had no real plans to travel the Blues Highway. But when you read it you can almost hear the music and you can practically see those juke joints and crossroads! Buy this book and you'll want to go!
Awesome!.......2003-04-30
Amazing amount of research, beautiful writing, great pix and full of respect for the music and the area. Every blues lover should have one.
Brilliant!.......2001-11-12

A companion to the author's 1971 entrée to book publishing, Feel Like Going Home, Lost Highway reveals Peter Guralnick's growth as a chronicler of American roots music. Originally published eight years after Going Home, Lost Highway tills the same rich soil--the likes of Sun Records chief Sam Phillips, bluesman Howlin' Wolf, and dispirited countrypolitan star Charlie Rich resurface. But here Guralnick also explores the psyches and works of kindred spirits both celebrated (Elvis Presley and Merle Haggard) and obscure (rockabilly journeyman Sleepy LaBeef and the "world's oldest teenager," Rufus Thomas). Guralnick reveals a unifying hook: for each musician, touring has become "journey, arrival, process, definition, virtually replacing in almost every instance the very impetus that set them out on the road in the first place." The author has a knack for finding the insecurities entangled with the talents of his peripatetic idols--perhaps they feel more comfortable opening up to him, sensing he only seeks to understand how their anxiety affects their art. Regardless, you can't read Lost Highway without gaining a greater appreciation of the music that prompted its writing. --Steven Stolder

Beautiful Portraits.......2006-07-04
In his writing, Peter Guralnick has placed his own work in the mythology of American (roots) music. The portraits that make up this book are all written more than 10 years after the heyday of the people he is writing about. It's about people who are no longer the stars they were, though their legacy remains.
It's not a history book about roots music, for that you need to read others. It does give great portraits of the people involved, showing their feebles but still maintaining their mythological role in music.
Rebel music that gets an overly respectful treatment rendering it stale and moribund.......2006-03-05
Guralnick's first book, Feel Like Going Home, was a classic examination of the nature of American roots music. In it, he authentically captured the dirt, crudity and blue-collar abrasiveness that characterised the music that would eventally give birth to Rock 'n' Roll. However in Lost Highway, he fails to convey that renegade spirit and instead reduces the music and its participants to the level of the mudane. His problem is that he's too reverential in his approach and throughout the book the overriding impression is that this is "worthy" music that you're meant to respect though not necessarily enjoy. Lost Highway really feels like little more than a description of the current state of the bar band scene of the late-'70's when it should in fact have been a celebration of a series of iconoclastic individuals and the culture that spawned them.
To it's credit though, there is one glittering, transcendent moment. In the same way that the James Brown essay was the one shining beacon in Sweet Soul Music, the highlight here is the chapter on Elvis Presley, written just before his death and eerily prophetic. It's clear that Guralnick adores Presley and his enthusiasm propels the narrative, overcoming his respectfulness to generate an exquisite essay. It's a shame that he couldn't have let his true instincts dominate his writing more often.
Lost Highway often reminds me of those workplaces with a sign that says "you don't have to be crazy to work here but it helps" and yet absolutely no-one there is crazy in the slightest. Guralnick tries too hard to convince us of the purported craziness of many of the individuals, such as Jack Clement who simply comes across as a tedious loudmouth and nothing like this man-from-outer-space that Guralnick would like you to believe.
Ultimately, this book fails and a large part of the reason for that failure is for the same reasons that Rock n Roll / Pop etc has lost it's edge - namely that it's been around too long. Any art form that has existed for any reasonable period of time ceases to be a threat to established norms and simply ends up being as cosy and unthreatening as the very culture that it originally set out to replace. Lost Highway simply enhances the music's status as a static entity that exists solely in a waxified museum format.
Solid Overview Of Roots Music.......2004-05-10
From the Grand Ole Opry aristocracy to the smoky dives of Chicago, Peter Guralnick is our guide through this 1979 examination of what diverse streams have fed American popular music. In parts a celebration, in parts a eulogy, it makes for some fascinating reading.
Those who read and liked Guralnick's earlier, shorter "Feel Like Going Home" will enjoy this second trip to the well. There's calls paid on Rufus Thomas, "the world's oldest teenager" whose blues-centered dances led to some early-'60s chart success; on DeFord Bailey, a harmonica whiz who was the Opry's first major star until folks figured out he was black; Hank Williams Jr., who lives up to his Daddy's tall legacy with the help of artificial stimulants and his own sense of the blues; and Charlie Rich, who was last visited in "Feel Like Going Home" as something of a straggler but grew into one of the biggest country singers of the 1970s, not that we find him here feeling too happy about it.
The best writing in this collection comprises several chapters on Elvis Presley, who was still just barely alive when Guralnick wrote his first essay here in 1976 and just dead when he wrote his next right after. Elvis was the one guy Guralnick didn't talk to, but you feel his presence in interviews with his old guitarist Scotty Moore and former mentor Sam Phillips.
"He hit like a Pan-American flash, and the reverberations still linger from the shock of his arrival," Guralnick writes.
There's a lot of characters, and some seem more interesting for their uniqueness (Jack Clement, Charlie Feathers) while others seem like misses altogether (who was James Talley anyway, and why should we care?) But there's some arresting profiles of those who made it and those who didn't, plus a sense of what got them there.
"It has to be the only thing for you - the one thing in your life," says cowboy legend Ernest Tubb. Guralnick makes it all seem worth it, for a few hundred pages at least.
This aint no MTV.......2000-09-08
In Lost Highway, Peter Guralnick shows us some of the most unique, and largely unrecognized, figures in American music. His chapters on Charlie Feathers, who was there with Elvis, Carl, and Johnny in Sun Studios in the 50's, and Sleepy LaBeef, whose relentless touring machine, upon request, would serve up any hit ever recorded by anybody, are compassionate portraits of real people that never got the hits, the recognition, or the payday of their famous contemporaries. What you come away with after reading this book is a realization that Guralnick's subjects live and breathe 'the life'. It's what they do. As I read this book, I found myself wondering if Guralnick had selected his subjects to cover some broad spectrum of the American musical landscape, or if he just wanted to get face to face with his musical heroes, and writing a book about them was a cool way to make that happen. Whatever the reason, Guralnick's enthusiasm for American music and his abiding respect for its practitioners come through every page. His attention to the small things, whether flattering to his subjects or not, brings us in close, where frustrations, hopes, missed opportunities, and dreams are all there for us to see. This isn't MTV. It's not the Grammy's. It's blue collar, working stiff people, making their living playing the music they love. And because they are so much like us, their stories are wonderfully compelling.
An achingly beautiful book about life as a musician........1999-01-19
Peter Guralnick makes you realize how much it takes to be a musician. His portraits of the lives of country, blues, and rock musicians are so beautiful and yet so tragic. You finish the chapter on Bobby Bland filled with admiration for his conviction, yet saddened that what defines him as a human being can become such a grind. And you finish the chapters on artists you didn't know or care about--Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Charlie Rich--filled with admiration, realizing that they loved and commited themselves to something that was as dear to them as it was to their fans, even when, as with Charlie Rich, it fell beneath their expectations. An almost indescribably beautiful book.
Book Description
Cultures collide when a Western journalist takes the slow road to Hokkaido.
After a few years of teaching in Japan, Will Ferguson set out to do the unthinkable--hitchhike the length of the country, from Cape Sata in the south to Hokkaido at the northernmost tip. He follows the erupting front of cherry blossoms as they burst into bloom in a seasonal ripple that tantalizes the Japanese psyche each spring.
Like a cross between Spalding Gray and Dave Barry, Will Ferguson sets forth with thumb outstretched to race the mystical blooms northward. He starts from a small metropolis where the local gardeners dust their petals because a nearby active and threatening volcano steadily sprinkles everything with ash. He is picked up readily along the way, and is even taken home by a driver who feeds him and helps plot out the best route. The tipsy host offers his best geographic advice and then a railroad ticket. The thought of hitchhiking so many hundred of miles is too unnerving, even for an appealing henna gaijin (weird foreigner).
It is a journey full of adventure and the humor that is inevitably created when very different cultures collide. Ferguson renders the encounters with wit, generous goodwill, and great hilarity.

No book captures the experience of being here better.......2006-12-31
Books about Japan by westerners seem to fall into two categories- literary books that talk about Japan in poetic terms and dwell on traditional culture, and comedy books that play up the wacky side of Japanese pop culture for laughs. Somewhere in between is "Hitching Rides with the Buddha"- a book by a foreigner who actually lived here for 5 years, speaks Japanese (as modest as he is about his blunders with the grammar), and really has an understanding of its people and its way of life.
Written as a modern day answer to Alan Booth's "The Road to Sato", this book details Ferguson's cross-country hitchhiking trip from mainland Japan's southernmost point in Kyushu to the northernmost point in Hokkaido, covering thousands of miles and encountering people from all walks of life, from teenagers to senior citizens and from ski bums to college professors.
At first, I was a bit sceptical about reading a book based on a trip hatched, by Ferguson's own admission, while falling-down drunk at a cherry blossom-viewing party in rural Kyushu. What kind of expert could he be?
But speaking as someone who loves Japan and has lived here almost 5 years myself, this book gets to the heart of the experience better than any other I know, and does a great job capturing the joy, delight, confusion and even occasional sorrow that comes when interacting with this amazing culture. Inspired by this book, I sometimes take off on similar hitch hiking trips during breaks at the university I teach at, and even made the same trip from Kyushu to Hokkaido. Every trip is a different adventure, and I'm glad that someone as talented as Ferguson wrote about it.
The book Bill Byson might wish he wrote about Japan.......2006-04-30
This is a great book - funny, accurate and mindfull. I read this while living in the Japanese countryside. Ferguson captures the quirky side of the people and transfers his experiences into a thoroughly satisfying read. On the back of my copy it reads "I enjoyed Hokkaido Highway Blues immensely. Mr Ferguson is a very gifted writer." Bill Bryson.
That's pretty high praise and I totally agree.
Pitiful.......2005-06-24
I don't know what book everyone else is reading, but I thought this one wasn't even good to use as scrap paper. The writer can't write and he doesn't have any good insights into Japan. Avoid this like the plague.
Hilarious but respectful about Japan.......2005-06-17
This book is probably the funniest piece of literature I've ever laid my hands on. You don't have to be an expert on Japan to read it, you don't even have to be very interested. After having read it though, you'll probably want to go and see for yourself. It's a true story and it's written with love and repect by someone who has spent a lot of time in the country. Enjoy!
Unable to resist the temptation to be condescending........2005-04-08
The concept for this book was certainly novel. Nobody can say, either, that Ferguson does not know what he is talking about. The book is detailed and the information relevent. However, after the first few pages I almost ditched it because of what I call, "Big and towering Blonde-headed Gringo Syndrome." That is, to adopt this very pathetically aloof manner common amongst travel writers whereby everything is of interest because it is, essentially, "different" but, at the same time, the writer never once forgets that he is, after all, amongst an inferior culture of weirdos. I think PJ O'Rourke does that substantialy better -- and he doesn't try and make out to be doing anything any different.
Book Description
What do Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, Cassandra Wilson, and Ani DiFranco have in common? In Highway 61 Revisited, acclaimed music critic Gene Santoro says the answer is jazz--not just the musical style, but jazz's distinctive ambiance and attitudes. As legendary bebop rebel Charlie Parker once put it, "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Unwinding that Zen-like statement, Santoro traces how jazz's existential art has infused outstanding musicians in nearly every wing of American popular music--blues, folk, gospel, psychedelic rock, country, bluegrass, soul, funk, hiphop--with its parallel process of self-discovery and artistic creation through musical improvisation. Taking less-traveled paths through the last century of American pop, Highway 61 Revisited maps unexpected musical and cultural links between such apparently disparate figures as Louis Armstrong, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan and Herbie Hancock; Miles Davis, Lenny Bruce, The Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen, and many others. Focusing on jazz's power to connect, Santoro shows how the jazz milieu created a fertile space "where whites and blacks could meet in America on something like equal grounds," and indeed where art and entertainment, politics and poetry, mainstream culture and its subversive offshoots were drawn together in a heady mix whose influence has proved both far-reaching and seemingly inexhaustible. Combining interviews and original research, and marked throughout by Santoro's wide ranging grasp of cultural history, Highway 61 Revisited offers readers a new look at--and a new way of listening to--the many ways jazz has colored the entire range of American popular music in all its dazzling profusion.
Product Description
16 Hours 19 Minutes, unabridged on CD. The real life of this book lies in the amazing variety of American originals the lonely and curious author meets along his journey: Kentuckians rebuilding log-cabins, a Brooklyn cop turned Trappist monk in Georgia, Cajun musicians on Bayou Teche, and the boys in the barbershop in Dime Box, Texas.

Book Description
Truth and Skye are just like all their high-school friends. They love to drive cars, they love to party, and they booze it up whenever they can. And when the two girls find summer jobs at the local pizza shop, they see no reason to change their habits. They befriend Vale, a co-worker who is grateful for their attention. But the two really only have eyes for Vale's car, which she will get as soon as she passes her driving exam. Cars mean freedom - freedom to go where they want and do what they please.
Truth doesn't know why, but she can't seem to get what she really wants. And she wants Ryan, the seriously handsome guy who works at the pizza oven. Truth's reckless behavior does catch his attention, but not in a good way. And as the summer progresses, Truth watches herself gradually lose control in a series of self-destructive acts. One day she'll be about to stop but will that day come too late?
A gripping story - by the author of the critically acclaimed Edge - Blue Highway explores teen alcoholism in a way that is neither didactic nor judgmental. Once again Diane Tullson demonstrates a keen awareness of what drives ordinary teenagers in trouble - their loyalties, their petty jealousies and that aching sense of isolation that make them withdraw from the world.
