Bill Frisell - Rambler (1984)


A dynamic, varied collection. From the fuzzed out, unresolved melodies of album opener "Tone", to bizarre quasi-march "Music I Heard", to the scatterbrained slo-mo of "Wizard of Odds", Rambler remains consistently engaged and engaging, and ultimately serves as a striking, early snapshot of the budding brilliance of Brill Frisell.

Track listing:
1. Tone
2. Music I Heard
3. Rambler
4. When We Go
5. Resistor
6. Strange Meeting
7. Wizard of Odds

    In Line will always hold a special place in my heart, but Rambler is 80s Bill at his most inspired. Great one to post, good work as always!

    Warming to see all the comments on Frisell. I certainly am not familiar with all 1,647 of his releases, this one included, so hearty thanks. That said, for me in his canon it's Blues Dream. I dare anyone to sit down with that one and not be transported to someplace exquisite.

    Whenever I get the occasion I try to listen and appreciate Frisell, but almost each time I don't get into his music for some reason. It has also been the case for this album ...but I'll keep on trying ! :D

    Thanks for sharing though Dear Spirit

    Thanks, as always, for these impeccable uploads. Re-downloading this rn, along with "In Line". As someone just starting to fuck around on guitar, Frisell's style and approach is, like, my guiding light.
