Some folks were mighty surprised when virtuoso jazz guitarist Bill Frisell announced a "country project" back in 1995. This disc is the result, and it's a stunning accomplishment, especially from a man who claimed "never to have liked" country music. Of course, NASHVILLE is not "country music" by any current definition of the term. No cryin' in the beer here. Instead, Frisell uses his enormous talent as an instrumentalist to explore the textures and nuances of traditional American musical styles. "Gimme A Holler," the disc's opening track, is a perfect example of his vision; delicate and trance-like in a natural, unassuming way. The whole disc, in fact, is an extremely soothing listening experience. Even the faster numbers, like the up-tempo banjo rag "Go Jake," have a sense of control and discipline about them. You get the sense that this man knows exactly what it is he wants to get across.
