I've rarely listened to an album so aptly named. Blues Dream is exactly what you get here, a sublime journey through misty fields and abandoned railroad yards, always watching your back. A mood of danger and uncertainty lingers in every track. If I had to walk through all of Alabama in one night, this is what I'd listen to. Bill Frisell has consistently produced instrumental albums of superior quality and awesome range in his equally stellar career. It's good to see a guitarist who is willing to step outside of a "signature" sound and get down in a whole new way. I'd equally recommend East West to the eager listener, a Bill Frisell album of different style but similar scope covering jazz in dreamscapes the way Blues Dream does the blues tradition. This album hangs out with Little Axe, Slang, Eric Clapton and Joe Henry in the corner with a bottle of booze.Good for: Walking down railroad tracks during a steel grey morning, regretting last night.
