Bill Frisell has been actively -- some would say obsessively -- exploring the
depths and dimensions of American roots music since the release of Nashville in
1997. His subsequent recordings -- Ghost Town, Gone Just Like a Train, Blues
Dream, Good Dog, Happy Man, and The Willies -- were all approaches to the
various folk styles that originated on American soil: country, blues,
bluegrass, field hollers, jazz, and others. He has successfully been able to
blend, extract, adapt, and otherwise morph one set of music onto another
through his own approach to guitar playing -- the song. More than any other
contemporary guitarist, Frisell is driven by the notion of song -- what it
entails, both in terms of musical and cultural expression, and what it
implies. On The Intercontinentals, Frisell continues his investigation of
American music, but as a way of understanding how it entwines with the folk
musics of other nations.
