Guitarist Bill Frisell has announced a new trio album, Valentine, set for an Aug. 14 release. The album features bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Rudy Royston. Frisell has also shared the album's closing track, a take on "We Shall Overcome." “I've been playing the song for years, and I'm going to keep playing it till there is no need anymore. I can't help but hope that day will come,” said Frisell in a press release.
“This album is all about Rudy and Thomas and the musical relationship I have with them,” said Frisell. “We've played a lot for a number of years, but there was no evidence of it, so I really wanted to have a document of it, if only to show that it's real and not this magical thing that I've imagined in my fantasies.”
