Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

Take your bluegrass stereotypesâ€"men in suits singing about Appalachia in a high lonesome styleâ€"and invert them. Now you have Nickel Creek. This stylish trio of twentysomethings make bluegrass safe for city folk. Mandolinist Chris Thile, guitarist Sean Watkins, and violinist Sara Watkins are students of the past and practitioners of the present. Children of sunny southern California, Nickel Creek’s music is naturally mellow and earthy, infused with both a traditional and Celtic feel. With their refreshing sound and youth, Nickel Creek cannot help but continue their successful ways.

Product Description

Pickin’ on Nickel Creek is a natural. In the short span of three albums, the band has established itself as one of the few bluegrass acts that can break through to a pop audience. And that is accomplished through great songwriting and musicianship. So don’t think that our team of Nashville musicians haven’t uncovered additional wealth in the grooves of the Nickel Creek catalog. Just listen to “Jealous of the Moon,” “The Lighthouse’s Tale,” and “House Carpenter” for evidence of new thrills. Pickin’ on Nickel Creek adds a healthy dose of bluegrass fever to an already exceptional set of songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pickin on Nickel Creek: a Bluegrass Tribute, January 14, 2007

This review is from: Bluegrass Tale-Bluegrass Tribute (Audio CD)
Very good CD. Outstanding musicianship. Updated bluegrass. Different from their other albums, as Chris Thile is not the mandolin player. I purchased this and another album from Nickel Creek to listen to Chris Thile. This one is a surprise favorite of mine now. Also different from previous albums is that this one is all instrumental.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clearing up some confusion, February 18, 2008
This review is from: Bluegrass Tale-Bluegrass Tribute (Audio CD)
This is not an album of songs performed by Nickel Creek, it is a tribute album. The "Pickin' On..." albums are a series of various bluegrass artists playing other bands' material. Most of the songs are instrumental, but in general the whole series is pretty good. I just noticed the other reviewers expecting the album to be a Nickel Creek album, read the description, and realized there should be a more definite answer on who did this album. There are a ton of albums in the Pickin' On series, but they are all done in a more traditional bluegrass style, so if that doesn't raise the bubbles in your beer then you will be better off getting the original artists' work.

I was hoping for more lyrical songs from Nicklevreek. But none the less a good cd.
