Country and Indie Music album by Nickel Creek

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, … see full wiki

Nickel Creek - Great Mandolin Licks

I have one of Nickel Creeks CD,s and there are a few really good songs on it. Being a big fan of the mandolin the song "When You Come Back Down" is one of my favorites by them. I also enjoy the" Light House" song, (Not sure of the real title for that one) but it has a great mandolin hook rif in it.

I bought this one a whim after reading excellent reviews and desperately needing new music. When I got home, I had no idea what I was going to be listening to. I plugged in my headphones and was immediately smitten with Nickel Creek and their sound, and listened to it non-stop for weeks on end. What a great buy! I'm definitely not a bluegrass/country (besides loving Gillian Welch) music fan, but I love this CD. What can I say that already hasn't been said? It's wonderful, traditional music that's … more
