Run, don't walk & pick up a copy of Frisell's Guitars in the Spage Age. The always stellar Greg Leisz weaves his pedal steel and 6-string magic around Frisell's beautiful leads. Killer rhythm section.
“On this album is some of the music I was hearing growing up in the ‘50s and early ‘60s,†notes Frisell. “There is so much history. Back and forth. Before and after. It’s impossible to pin things down. That’s the beauty. We all learn from each other. When I listen to Jimmy Bryant, I know he must have listened to Charlie Christian, and The Ventures heard Chet Atkins, and Chet Atkins listened to Johnny Smith. It’s like a kaleidoscope. You look at one piece of music, and it immediately shoots out into all these directions. All these beams of light cut through whatever words are used to try to box it in.†As a baby boomer who came of age in the 50s and ‘60s, there is an undeniably autobiographical element to the tenor and tone of the repertoire which Frisell explores on GUITAR IN THE SPACE AGE! along with long-time collaborators Greg Leisz (pedal steel & electric guitar), Tony Scherr (acoustic bass and electric bass guitar) and Kenny Wolleson (drums and vibraphone).

I picked it up last week. I haven't had a chance to listen all the way through yet but what I've heard has been outstanding.
