Ok, I'm gonna work on a potential artical for the recent Bill Frisell album Disfarmer below. Just heard it, it's an amazing trip.

The Difarmer is the twenty-first album by Bill Frisell to be released on the Elektra Nonesuch label. It was inspired by the life and photos of Disfarmer, a photographer.

history edit

According to the liner notes of the album (written by Frisell), Chuck Helm of the Wexner Center of the Arts asked Frisell to do a musical project based on Disfarmer. Frisell knew nothing of Disfarmer and was impressed when he first saw Disfarmer's photos. Frisell and his wife took a trip to Heber Springs, Arkansas, where Disfarmer once lived. There he met Tom Olmstead who had his picture taken by Disfarmer as a young boy, and was "generous with his time and imformation" of Disfarmer. "I kept Thinking about the many other unsung and Misunderstood artists who never had the recognition they deserved during their own time... I wonder who is here now? "I try to picture what went on in Disdarmer's mind... We'll never know, but as I write the music, I'd like to imagine it coming from his point of view"
