Guitarist Bill Frisell continues his experimentation with combining guitar tones, songs of American folklore and jazz expressions with his recently formed trio of bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston on their initial release. For one track, “Where Do We Go?”, Frisell goes acoustic and takes the listener to a rural back porch, while for the rest of the album he uses his electric guitar as a six stringed paint brush, with Monkish blue strokes on the pretty title track, creating trickles with Morgan on the flowing “Levees” or forming Eno-like sonic landscapes on “Hour Glass”. A read of Duke Ellington’s “A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing” includes delicate brushes by Royston as Frisell undulates guitar petals of sound, while the mallets for “Winter Always Turns to Spring” create a reflective atmosphere. As is his leaning, Frisell takes on some Americana with intriguing results, as “What The World Needs Now Is Love” is a laconic request, “Wagon Wheels” moseys along to Morgan’s static gait and the spiritual anthem “We Shall Overcome” gives a reverberating plea.
