Music reviews of How to Grow a Woman from the Ground
Music Review: One of my all-time favorite albums
Rating: 5 Stars
This album sounded ok on a first listen, but it has continued to grow on me from that point until now. It is definitely one of the best albums I have ever listened to. The muscianship on this record is incredible and can't be truly appreciated until it is afforded several listens. There's maybe 1 mediocre song on the entire album.
Description of How to Grow a Woman from the Ground
What goes around, comes around. As the resident rock star in Nickel Creek (contrasting with the trio's more reserved Watkins siblings), mandolinist Chris Thile has sent his music soaring in surprising directions from its bluegrass base. Though this solo release finds him dipping into the songbooks of the White Stripes ("Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground") and the Strokes ("Heart in a Cage"), much of the music sticks closer to tradition than Thile has in recent years. Among the highlights are an uptempo romp through Gillian Welch's "Wayside (Back in Time)," a pretty fair yodel on Jimmie Rodgers's "Brakeman's Blues," the close harmonies of the bluesy "If the Sea Was Whiskey," and Thile's original "You're an Angel and I'm Gonna Cry," classic country weeper. Five of the fourteen cuts are instrumental, with the opening "Watch 'at Breakdown" combining bluegrass instrumentation and jazzy sophistication, and "The Beekeeper" giving Thile's fingers a chance to fly. --Don McLeeseGeneral CDs
