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

I like everything Nickel Creek does.

The first two albums are just as good. As with the second one, it will probably take some time to warm up to this album. It took me a while, but I almost like the the second album more than the first. Both of which are very good.

When I first started listening to Nickel Creek, it was a little too saccharin for me. As I've gotten to know their work, I have more and more respect for it. Fantastic stuff, can't wait to pick up the new one.

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
