▲'''''Invisible Republic: Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes''''' (1997) is a book by [[music critic]] [[Greil Marcus]] about the creation and cultural importance of ''[[The Basement Tapes]]'', a series of recordings made by [[Bob Dylan]] in 1967 in collaboration with The Hawks, who would subsequently become known as [[The Band]].
When subsequently published in paperback, the book was retitled '''''The Old, Weird America''''', a term coined by Marcus to describe the often eerie [[country music|country]], [[blues]], and [[folk music]] featured on the ''[[Anthology of American Folk Music]]'' (1927-1932; released 1952). In his opinion, the sensibility of ''Anthology'' is reflected by the ''Basement Tapes'' recordings. The term has been revived via the [[musical genre]] called [[New Weird America]].
