In 1985, with the departure of long-time guitarist Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm was faced with a tough decision on who would replace Robertson in the legendary group, The Band.
Bill Frisell ranks in the top tier of guitarists from his generation, alongside such luminaries as John Scofield and Pat Metheny. His recorded output is arguably as eclectic as any living artist.
