Abstract

This paper will examine the role of a single record, Mr Tambourine Man by the Byrds, in the fight back against the British Pop Invasion. It will suggest that this short work incorporates and assimilates musical discourses from both the American tradition (including Greil Marcus's “old, weird America”) and the British pop phenomenon (the Searchers, the Beatles) to create an example of bricolage par excellence. The paper will draw on both academic and music industry sources, including interviews conducted by the writer, to construct a rounded and illuminating point of view.
