The Best Of Bill Frisell, Volume 1: Folk Songs

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.
