5 stars Blues Dog, Happy Man
Frisell continues to explore American music with this excellent CD. I hear sort of a fusion of Blues Dream with Good Dog, Happy Man, minus percussion. I was somewhat apprehensive about the lack of drums. Jim Keltner's work on Good Dog is so nice, meshing with Frisell's style. Yes, it's laid back. But it's real good.

2 stars Rolling and somewhat boring
This was my first experience with a Bill Frisell CD. As a banjo player and a fan of jazz this intrigued me. Danny Barnes being an innovative banjo player with a jazz guitarist could have been much better. The first cut "Sitting On Top Of The World" was a cool start but then it went down hill after that. If I was still in the 60's and taking drugs it may have really been a great cd. But it just never had an upbeat to it. Just rambling along as if there was no end. Cluck Ole hen kinda livened thin…
