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.

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.
