Bill Frisell • Gone, Just Like a Train

 

Review by Richard S. Ginell
Drawing from all over the musical spectrum, Frisell selects drummer Jim Keltner (best known for his records with George Harrison, Eric Clapton and other rock stars) and bassist Viktor Krauss (a fixture in Lyle Lovett's country band), and comes up with an immensely likable, easy-grooving CD that defies one to put a label on it. If anything, Frisell leans toward a drawling country twang heavily indebted to Chet Atkins in his guitar work here, but there is a freewheeling jazz sensibility at work on every track. Keltner contributes the heavy rock element with his emphatic strokes, occasionally pushing Frisell in that direction on the title track and the lengthy "Lookout for Hope." Yet Keltner is also capable of surprising subtlety, and Krauss provides firm, unflashy underpinning. Above all, this is thoughtful, free-thinking, ear-friendly jamming that was recorded in bustling Burbank, CA. but sounds as if it was laid down in a relaxed cabin in the hills.

Reseña de Richard S. Ginell
Recurriendo a todo el espectro musical, Frisell selecciona al batería Jim Keltner (más conocido por sus discos con George Harrison, Eric Clapton y otras estrellas del rock) y al bajista Viktor Krauss (un fijo en la banda country de Lyle Lovett), y consigue un CD inmensamente agradable y fácil de roer que desafía a uno a ponerle una etiqueta. En todo caso, Frisell se inclina hacia un acento country muy deudor de Chet Atkins en su trabajo de guitarra, pero hay una sensibilidad jazzística libre en cada tema. Keltner aporta el elemento de rock pesado con sus golpes enfáticos, empujando ocasionalmente a Frisell en esa dirección en la canción que da título al disco y en la larga «Lookout for Hope». Sin embargo, Keltner también es capaz de una sutileza sorprendente, y Krauss proporciona un apoyo firme y sin estridencias. Por encima de todo, se trata de un jamming reflexivo, de pensamiento libre y agradable al oído que se grabó en el bullicioso Burbank, California, pero que suena como si se hubiera grabado en una relajada cabaña en las colinas.
