    This Land is the fifth album by Bill Frisell to be released on the Elektra Nonesuch label. It was released in 1994 and features performances by Frisell, Billy Drewes, Curtis Fowlkes, Kermit Driscoll and Joey Baron.

    Reception

    The Allmusic review by Glenn Astarita awarded the album 4 stars stating "The guitarist's now familiar penchant for constructing climactic opuses framed upon his deft utilization of volume control and often-slithery mode of attack counterbalances the horn sections' pumping notes and harmonious choruses. Essentially, melody is the key throughout these pleasantly arranged pieces, as Frisell makes his axe talk and cry while also partaking in lustrous unison lines with Don Byron (clarinet), Curtis Fowlkes (trombone), and Billy Drewes (alto sax). Overall, This Land signifies yet another powerful statement by this wonderfully inventive musician. Recommended!".

    This Land

    by: MDC

    This land is your land, this land is my land
    From Love Canal to Three Mile Island
    From the Livermore labs to the offshore rigs
    This land was made for you and me
    As I was walking the strip mined valley
    Into the city, the piss-soaked alley
    I felt kinda sickly, kinda Love-Canal-ly
    This land was made or you and me
    This land is your land, this land is my land
    But tell the truth, man it's call the landlord's land
    Wants money in his hand, or he'll call the policeman
    This land was made for you and me
    This land is your land (well, it's not MY land)
    This land is my land (it was once the Indian's land)
    From California (where they got smog, man)
    To the New York Island (you'll get mugged or murdered)
    From the Redwood Forrest (pool decks and patio furniture)
    To the Gulf Stream water (hold your nose)
    This land was made for you and me
    You ask how we can do this to Woody, man
    We know he'd understand and mourn the poison land
    With head held in dismay at Prince William's death-bay
