今回のベスト第一弾は、全体の傾向としてはカントリー/フォーク・タイプの曲が多いですが、6曲目の"Rag"(Is That You?収録ですからアクースティックギター多重録音ヴァージョン)とか、10曲目の"Have A Little Faith In Me"とかは、ちょっと他の収録曲とは毛色が違いますよね。

"Evincing his best qualities as both guitarist and composer, Frisell harvests evocative, melancholy Americana from deceptively modest, episodic themes.
Coloring the scenes with acoustic as well as his trademark electric, Frisell produces strangely cinematic motifs on guitar, and his rhythm cohorts - longtime bassist Kermit Driscoll and drummer Joey Baron - provide abundant narrative drive." - Billboard

Bill Frisell plays the guitar like Miles Davis played the trumpet. --New Yorker
Frisell is the Clark Kent of electric guitar..soft spoken and self effacing. In one of the biggest leaps of imagination since the Yardbirds and Jimi Hendrix, he coaxes and slams his hovering split toned ax in shapes of things to come. --Spin
Product Description
'For a long time I'd had the dream of making a trio with Eyvind Kang and Rudy Royston. We've known each other for years and worked together in many situations. The idea came about as a result of the power and strength of the connection that happens when we play music together. It wasn't about the instruments, it was about the people. We played our first gig on June 7, 2008 in Eugene, Oregon and from the first note, it was working. Each time we get together the music feels new.....and old. Backwards and forwards. Up and down. Anything is possible. I can't wait to hear what happens next. Of course, the next thing on my mind was wishing, hoping we could make an album together of new music. I went to my friend Lee Townsend. Anyone familiar with my music needs no introduction to Lee. Over more than 20 years he has produced many of my albums. We were working together on another project at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley CA. and I started noticing the size, shape, sound, vibe of the room there. It was like it had been custom designed. The perfect set up and atmosphere to record this trio. The next thing I knew, we were in there recording and Savoy came along and wanted to put out the record! I'm so fortunate having the chance to play music with Eyvind and Rudy and having an audience willing to go along for the latest adventure. I'm the luckiest guy in the world being surrounded by all these folks who have so much faith and trust in the music, helping me to make my dreams come true. Beautiful dreamers.'

March 29th, 2003 in Budapest, Hungary
"I had the good fortune to attend this concert in Budapest on March 29th, 2003.
It was a strange time to be traveling abroad as an American - just a few days after the U.S. invaded Iraq.
I arrived a few minutes late to the torrid sounds of "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall". The band was so centered and focused – Bill, Greg, David and Kenny performing as one - and the audience was transfixed.
It was a very emotional moment that everyone present seemed to be sharing in an extraordinary, elevated sense.
I was so filled with sadness and uplift at the same time.
Tears immediately started pouring down my cheeks.
And the concert just took off as a journey from there through Bill's own songs like "Ron Carter", "Monroe", "Eli" and "That Was Then" to classics like "Hurt", "Lost Highway", "Your Cheatin' Heart", "I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry" and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine".
I am so happy that this concert is available for Bill's audience to appreciate as I found it to be a deeply poignant experience – one that ultimately felt like the best of what so-called "Americana" had to offer in the face of a tragic moment in our history.
I hope some of that power comes across in the recorded version of this music.
As I listen to it now, it certainly has that kind of effect on me."
- Lee Townsend, Producer and Manager of Bill Frisell. Berkeley, CA. August, 2010.

2000年の大統領選挙でゴア元副大統領(民主党)とブッシュ(共和党)の投票数が僅差で最高裁でもめていたとき(投票数は実際にはゴアのほうが多かった)、コンサート(Skirball Center)でビルが
「Are there any Republicans here?」と言っていました。共和党の人ってこの会場にいないよね?とか共和党の人にはいてほしくない、みたいな牽制した口調で言っていました。(ブッシュが選出されると世界が変わってしまう、という危機感があったからシャイなビルでも思い切って言ったんだな、と印象的だったのを覚えています。)
