Summary: Good Reason to buy
Comment: Nickel Creek's genre is hard to define. Bluegrass is an easy label, as well as folk. Alternative wouldn't be a stretch, either. This album showcases that range with some of Nickel Creek's greatest hits. The tracks span all of their previous releases, and includes two live recordings. Music videos are included on a seperate DVD.
"Helena" is a haunting song of a couple playing games. "Can't Complain" traces the story of a couple that can't seem to make their relationship work, but knew it from the start, so they can't complain. The title track speaks of mistakes and excuses: "Others have excuses/I have my reasons why." "When in Rome" is a great song, and the corresponding video on the DVD is great as well. Classic line: "Where can a dead man go?/A question with an answer only dead men know/But I hope that they never really feel at home/if they spent a lifetime learning how to live in Rome." There most popular single, "This Side," is of course included.
This CD is amazing. If you're a fan of good music, you will enjoy Nickel Creek. They are one of the most creative groups in the music business. On one of the live recordings on this album, "The Fox," they weave Bob Dylan and classical music in with their own song. The lyrics are just as strong as the music, making this CD one of my favorite.

Summary: Farewell...for Now
Comment: On a return visit to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN Nickel Creek
said a fond `farewell, for now.' Tongue in cheek, the theme for the evening
was the ebb and flow of relationships and the strains one can encounter
along the way. The foursome wove in the usual mix of NC favorites
balanced with a number of new(er) songs and Chris Thile solo selections,
easing into the evening almost by rote, but performing with energy and
aplomb! An extended version of Lighthouse Song and Ode to Butterfly,
and a sing-along (la la la) to Scotch and Chocolate made for enjoyable
moments in the early part of the show.
The encore was punctuated by Chris Thile's notion that this relationship
may be in question because it is Toxic, NC launched into the pop hit with
full groove on and Chris electrified in dance, stopping to pose only for a
moment before undulating to the rhythms. (Sounded uncannily like the
B-52's) Definitely a crowd pleaser!
Coming back down to earth Benmont Tench and Edgar Meyer once
again joined the group for some humor and musical icing on the
cake, if you will.
As the final notes of Tomorrow's Such a Long Time echoed through the
Ryman, we can certainly hope that the spirit of NC will continue to live
on in the years ahead in some incarnation. I suspect NC will continue
to flow musically for many years!

Summary: Sugary sweet.... Your speakers will never sound better!
Comment: Saw this group at Stagecoach fest in Coachella, CA. The lyrical parts are sometimes thought provoking, but the music steals the show. These young musicians are amazing and truly goosebump material. Harmonies are dead on and whoever mixed this stuff should produce every known band! Even if you don't like country or bluegrass, this disc is a breath of FRESH AIR! The bonus DVD is a nice addition. Sara Watkins is cuter than a daisy. Too bad so many listen to the pre-packaged garbage on the radio today... These guys should be on top!
