'A beautiful and long overdue portrait of one of America's true living cultural treasures.'
JOHN ZORN

'The perfect companion-piece to the music of its subject.'
MOJO

'Outlines the subject's life in a series of scrupulous strokes and intimate interviews that are rare in such undertakings . . . a cool, casual victory.'
IRISH TIMES

Over a period of forty-five years, Bill Frisell has established himself as one of the most innovative and influential musicians at work today. A quietly revolutionary guitar hero for our genre-blurring times, he connects to a diverse range of artists and admirers, including Paul Simon, Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Gus Van Sant and Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, all of whom feature in this book.

A vital addition to any music lover's book collection, Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer tells the legendary guitarist's story for the first time.

'Stuffed with musical encounters, so many that every couple of pages there's an unheard Frisell recording for the reader to chase down.'
NEW YORKER

' Bill Frisell, Beautiful Dreamer is the definitive biography.'
BILL MILKOWSKI, DOWNBEAT

'Superb . . . the book races along like Sonny Rollins in full sail. Like subject, like writer: this is super-articulate, adventurous prose.'
PERSPECTIVE

'[Watson's] writing balances unbridled passion and dispassionate research nearly as deftly as Mr. Frisell's playing does sound and silence . . . compelling.'
WALL STREET JOURNAL
