This is one of Bill Frisell’s oddest and most wonderful records. It opens with his arrangement of a suite from Aaron Copland’s ballet score to Billy the Kid, then proceeds to a couple of pieces by Charles Ives before covering Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Madonna, and Stephen Foster, among others. In short this is an Americana album, where “Americana” is defined to include the whole scope of 20th-century American music, as refracted through Frisell’s unique compositional sensibility. It’s unlike any other “jazz” album you’ll ever hear — and if his rendition of John Hiatt’s “Have a Little Faith in Me” doesn’t bring a tear to your eye, have your pulse checked.
