Details
[Edit]The jazz guitarist Bill Frisell is well known for incorporating folk, country, bluegrass, and other styles into his expansive sound. Folk Songs, a 2009 best-of collection that draws material from eight albums that Frisell previously recorded for the Nonesuch label, focuses on those traditional strains. It's an easygoing affair often marked by the down-home tones of Dobro, pedal steel, and banjo. (About half of the album has drums or percussion, and veteran session drummer Jim Keltner appears on six cuts.) Folk Songs opens with Frisell overdubbing electric and acoustic guitar on the Hank Williams gem, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” Playing solo, the guitarist savors the song, taking his sweet time as he sprinkles the tune with blues inflections. Frisell is joined by a pair of long-time associates, drummer Joey Baron and bassist Kermit Driscoll, for a cover of John Hiatt’s “Have a Little Faith In Me,” while Danny Barnes’ banjo colors a bluegrass-flavored “Sittin’ On Top of the World.” Altogether Folk Songs serves as a good intro to Frisell’s love affair with the sounds of America.
