ECM website: "Memo from the heyday of the Downtown scene, an album from Frisell’s first touring band, with cellist Hank Roberts, drummer Joey Baron and bassist Kermit Driscoll. All material by Frisell, except Thelonious Monk’s “Hackensack”. "

ecmreviews:
"On this, another seminal effort on ECM’s Touchstones, Frisell continued to chart his inimitable sound. The wordless vocals of Hank Roberts in the album’s title opener waver like something from the dream diary of Pat Metheny, with whom Frisell shares much insofar as it is almost impossible to listen to either guitarist without seeing epic films of vivid imagery.

Lookout For Hope is a walleyed world replete with hokey profundity and slack jaws. Like a good Stephen King novel, it gets under our skin even as it nourishes it. The titular lookout seems but a toothpick of a shadow on the horizon. But no matter, for by the time the final note has run away we’ve already found our hope."
