		With producer Hal Willner using an assortment of “found sounds,” he and Frisell have a fashioned an album and sound which remains accessible and weirdly invigorating throughout.
		Part of the wonder of the album is that Willner has dug into the deeply unexplored musical past for his samples; many of which are obscure bits of soul, electronica, R&B, world music, and other exotica [I wasn’t familiar with most of them].

	GO Brooklyn
		This official tribute has been OK'd by Cohen himself, according to Willner, and is sponsored by the Canadian Consulate.
		According to Willner, Cave will be rehearsing Cohen's "I'm Your Man," for the show, but anything could happen and Willner hesitated to say what any artist might be performing, chalking it up to both wanting to keep the evening a surprise and wanting the artists to have the chance rehearse their chosen Cohen song first.
		Willner told GO Brooklyn that he applied that same thorough approach to the Cohen tribute.

	los amigos de durutti: November 2005
		Hal Willner is a producer known for his inventive "tribute albums" that celebrate the work of some of his favorite musicians.
		Willner also employed instruments invented and constructed by Harry Partch to give the album a distinctive and cohesive sound and feel.
		Willner also produced Night Music, a short lived but amazing late night TV show that aired on Sundays during the 1989/90 season (anybody out there remember that?) Much too good to last on network television, Night Music brought together an incredible mix of artists to perform and discuss their music.

		My first introduction to Hal Willner happened in the middle of the night in the middle of the Eighties, listening to Northwestern's WNUR radio station.
		Willner's liner notes apologise that after signing on to the project he discovered that most of his favorites had only a single verse, so he was forced to turn many of them into medleys.
		Willner has also recently worked as a staff music producer at Saturday Night Live for several years, and he was music producer for 20 episodes of the innovative music series Night Music with David Sanborn in 1989-90.

		Underneath the voice, Hal Willner put a track of the "Ah" mantra that he found on a plastic disc put out by Pequod Records.
		For this collection Willner took the time, patience, ear, and discernment to hear everything that was on the Record Plant's 16 tracks, separate it all out, fade Dylan's first guitar, and redub my vocal in proper pitch, speech-song style.

		Surely it lends its own weighty blend of blood, sweat, and tears to the folkloric literature of sea shanties and pirate songs, though cranks like Alan Lomax and John Jacob Niles are certainly turning over in their graves if they have any extraterrestrial knowledge of its existence.
		Willner gathered together some 75 songs and went to Seattle to hang with Bill Frisell to discuss the project.
		The real deal is this: by bringing up these old relics -- some of which took considerable research to find -- Willner has done a service to folk culture by presenting it in such an oddball, loose, and fun way to the masses.

		But with the addition of a three-piece string section, three-piece horn section, percussion and Hal Willner's turntables and samples, the textures available are richer than ever before.
		As a starting point for compositions that are sometimes Frisell's alone, but more often collaborative efforts with Willner and/or engineer Eric Liljestrand, Frisell and Willner looked to an extensive library of obscure songs and sounds culled from vintage vinyl recordings.
		That Frisell has chosen to use his guitar as a sonic paintbrush rather than a simple purveyor of chops means that there are those who will be disappointed; but for those who prefer their music to tell stories and create vivid images, Unspeakable is another high point in an already significant body of work.

		Hal Willner is the music supervisor for Saturday Night Live, but for many, he’s better known for eclectic, star-studded albums that offer new, sometimes irreverent takes on an artist or a body of music.
		As Willner recalls the shows by phone, one of his dominant memories is that they were long.
		[Cave was musical curator for the Meltdown Festival in London in 1999 and asked Willner to organize a Harry Smith show for the festival.] The first group of people is a combination of people that I guess Nick Cave liked that couldn’t fit into his festival and my people.
