Synopsis

Product Description

With this 15-song compilation, Nonesuch launches an ongoing series of Frisell best-of discs, each designed to focus on a specific aspect of his astonishingly varied catalogue. This inaugural collection, with liner notes by Elvis Costello, documents Frisell's excursions into what can broadly be called folk music, his highly personal take on country, bluegrass, blues, and Americana.

CD Reviews

Nice Collection

Ron Hartman | South Jersey | 05/15/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I already have about half these tracks on other cd's. But the way they are grouped in this "folk" collection, the tunes fit together very well. I am more partial to his acoustic music, so future collections may not be so appealing, but this one is great. Plus it's 65 minutes long."

Wonderful musician

Betty | PA | 02/05/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bill Frisell is a master of many styles and a superb musician. And I would give his newest album (Disfarmer) more than 5 stars."

Beautiful
