There are only a few guitarists who are managing to fashion a strong original sound for them­selves these days and Frisell is one of them. If anything, first impressions suggest that he has listened more to Nashville pedal steel guitarists or Wout Steenhuis’s Hawaiian lyri­cisms. One thing’s for certain – Frisell has embraced the newish guitar synth technology, with all the colouration that that con­notes. Though each of these tracks have a clear rhythmic undertow, this is not explicitly rhythmic music.
