Music reviews of Nickel Creek
Music Review: One listen and I was a fan
Rating: 5 Stars
The first Nickel Creek song that I heard was Sweet Afton. I love Robert Burns poetry and recognized the lyrics so they had to do a good job on this one or I'd have been turned off. They didn't disappoint. I bought the album and enjoy every song. My new favorite is The Lighthouse Tale - you'll have to be hard-hearted to avoid getting choked up listening to this song.
This album was produced by Alison Krauss. It was nominated for two grammy awards and received several other awards.
Description of Nickel Creek
The CD cover artwork for this release has changed, and your copy may be delivered with either the old or new cover art. Nothing else about the CD has changed.San Diego is not exactly known as a hotbed of contemporary bluegrass music, but then again, Nickel Creek are a far cry from most bluegrass bands you've ever heard. On their Alison Krauss-produced debut, they serve up a lilting, ethereal fusion of bluegrass, Celtic, modern folk, and even classical influences, offering exquisite harmonies that would be more at home at a Crosby, Stills & Nash tribute than at a musical salute to the late Bill Monroe. Yet it makes for delightful listening, all the same. The three principals (Sara Watkins on fiddle and vocals; her brother Sean Watkins on guitar, mandolin, and vocals; and Chris Thile on mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, and vocals) are either barely out of their teens or still in them. Individually and as a band, they've already won a slew of awards and notoriety on their respective instruments. The three prodigies (joined by Thile's dad, Scott, on bass) really strut their eclectic hot licks on a few soaring, skittering instrumentals, but even more impressive are Nickel Creek's graceful, heartfelt harmonies on the many lovely ballads. Hot licks, when you get right down to it, are a dime a dozen; this sort of pluperfect tunefulness is a much rarer thing. --Bob Allen
