Editorial Reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Collection, May 15, 2009
By 
This review is from: The Best of Bill Frisell, Vol. 1: Folk Songs (Audio CD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars highy reccomended instrumental guitar music, April 17, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best of Bill Frisell, Vol. 1: Folk Songs (Audio CD)
I'm a new listener to Bill Frisell, after I heard his music on a movie soundtrack. After a little research I bought this album and I'm happy I did. What a talented guitarist, playing all styles of music. This cd is a wonderful collection of different types of songs. My favorites are I''m So Lonesome I Could Cry, Sugar Baby, Mr. Memory and Have a Little Faith In Me. But I have to say each selection is great, which seldom happens. Usually there is one or two I don't like. Nice relaxing music, my favorites are the country bluegrass songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful musician, February 5, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Best of Bill Frisell, Vol. 1: Folk Songs (Audio CD)
Bill Frisell is a master of many styles and a superb musician. And I would give his newest album (Disfarmer) more than 5 stars.
