Guy Klucevsek – accordion
Kermit Driscoll – bass

Bill Frisell has long been one of the most unique guitarists around. Able to
switch on a moment's notice from sounding like a Nashville studio player to
heavy metal, several styles of jazz, and just pure noise, Frisell can get a
remarkable variety of sounds and tones out of his instrument. This set features
Frisell in a quintet with Don Byron (on clarinet and bass clarinet), Guy
Klucevsek on accordion, bassist Kermit Driscoll, and drummer Joey Baron. To call
the repertoire wide-ranging would be an understatement. In addition to eight
melodies from Aaron Copland's Billy the Kid, Frisell and company explore (and
often reinvent) pieces written by Charles Ives, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters,
Madonna, Sonny Rollins, Stephen Foster, and John Phillip Sousa. This is one of
the most inventive recordings of the 1990s and should delight most listeners
from any genre
