    With In My Dreams, Frisell pulls you into his western reverie, a wagon train journey into his soul.

    The resulting hybrid melds the live and the studio takes into a seamless ambience. There are no jarring moments or juxtapositions. As the album’s title suggests, the music has a dreamlike quality. The atmospherics are generally soothing.

    In My Dreams proves that subtlety, judicious use of space, and generous, trusted sharing can deliver a quietly gorgeous soundscape. Frisell harnesses all his trademark attributes into one, evocative declarative statement.

    It’s sentimental, wry, curious, and highly synergistic: Even if the dialogue has its lulls, the silences never feel awkward.

    The title track lurches woozily like it's about to break out into a waltz but never does, and "hard Times" is an aching Celtic/Appalachian ballad. We end with the loveliest take on "Home On The Range" you've ever heard. [Mar 2026, p.31]

    Frisell is travelling a unique, but to old admirers, rather familiar path here. [Apr 2026, p.91]
