I love the way Bill often starts out with total chaos and slowly let’s the song almost build itself out of the pieces and emerge.

Marc Ribot discussed this in an interview he did with Bill - "every guitarist who has ever heard Frisell has wondered how he managed to get his guitar to produce notes that swelled in volume as they sustained, like a violinist or horn player, instead of steadily fading, like the notes on everyone else’s guitar. There was talk by the bar of a clever use of compression, echo, or volume pedals. I believed this until I heard him produce the same effect on an acoustic guitar, at which point I gave up trying to understand." Bill's a magician.

I was "counting with him" in the intro, and there are some points where he does seem to "ignore time" lose the count, lose the bar, whatever. Mostly not, but sometimes he does. Very much like older blues music. When Julian comes in, yes they keep a common time.

While this is an extraordinary performance I think if I had not read the title I would not have recognized the tune. After enjoying this you might try looking for the album of Hank Williams songs played by Roy Clark and Joe Pass. It is stylistically quite different than this performance but just as wonderful.

@ericsanders5357 2 жыл бұрын

@GuiitarBilly 2 жыл бұрын

@ericsanders just checked Spotify and the Joe-Roy album is there. It takes a conventional approach, no outside stuff/you’re never guessing which song they’re playing. Always a treat hearing Joe do his special, musical thing to a 3 or 4 chord Hank tune …& Roy’s no slouch :-) It was recorded near the very end of Joe’s life and might have seemed an odd pairing on paper, but not on that fun recording. I absolutely love what Bill and Julian do in this video; all the clips from this evening are magical.

Hank Williams was playing a show with a sub guitar player one night. Apparently they got to the end of the first tune and Hank said "what the HELL are you playing there boy?" The sub replied, "Oh just a few 2 chords in front of the 5". Hank was livid..."well, I wrote the song, and I'm pretty sure I didn't put any goddam minor chords in it"

My only regret is that, although he plays wonderfully and in a unique way, Bill is not as bold now as he was some decades ago. Or, some may say, it's another kind of bolderness, but Julian is often the one to break the veil.

I don’t think Bill is playing a Lage signature is he? Isn’t that his Collings I-35 LC Deluxe that he’s had for a long time (earlier days without a Bigsby)? Julian is playing his signature Collings 470 JL which is an interpretation of a 50s Gretsch Jet with dyna sonic pickups.

Frisell an Lage share a compunction for clear warm note selection (with occasional and intentional dissonances) separate by undeniable control of sonic spaces. Many find this mix compelling. I have tried but still find it wearying and manipulative. I prefer to skate along top of the music rather than being harnessed to attend while being allowed nothing better to do than contemplate. Music which invites and does not compel is far more satisfying, long term. It's 'as though I'm being restrained and there is no hope of release to the point that I must turn it off before it ends.
