A musical "heads up" to any and all...

I just picked up the new Nickel Creek cd titled "Why Should The Fire Die?" and it's outstanding. Good intelligent songwriting, excellent musicianship and great sonically as well. Highlight tracks for me are #4 "Scotch and Chocolate", #5 "Can't Complain" and #13 "Helena". I don't think you'll be dissapointed. Just so you know, my musical tastes vary from Miles Davis/Stan Getz/U2/Smiths/Dire Straits to John Mellencamp/Dave Matthews/Beatles/Nirvana and the previous threads mentioned Bob Mould. As always YMMV.

Happy Listening,

Tim

Found the new album disappointing - prefer the first two.
I picked them up by chance on the basis anything produced by Alison Krauss couldn't be bad.
Check out the Creekdippers - you'll hate them then come to love them (the vocals are a bit eccentric?) but the recordings are absolutely stunning !
Also Dan Hicks 'Alive & Lickin' gutted that his european tour was cancelled

check out Eastmountainsouth, album of the same name, Willy Mason "Where the Humans Eat" and Danny George Wilson "The Famous Mad Mile".
Only heard one track of Eastmountains. but reminded me of Nickel Creek at their best. The other two are 'growers' as opposed to stunners but very nice production on the the DG Wilson album.
