Customer Reviews Great CD for Little Kids That is exactly what you get on this CD. It is not often that one can hear their favorite band singing as little kids. Nickel Creek, known for it's folksy, soft melodies made this CD when they were all between 10 and 14. Now, if you are not into little kids singing high notes, then maybe this CD isn't for you. My niece and nephew love it. They even want to be cowboys someday too! If you love Nickel Creek, its worth it to get this CD. Nickel Creek were already brilliant musicians as pre-teens This CD is for the Nickel Creek fan who A)already has all the other cds, and B) Enjoys the "traditional Country/Western roots" that their music evolved from. . or C)is a parent or grandparent wanting some 'safe' and fun music to share with kids with NO element of today's 'trashy' side. . . . They are doing classic "gene Autry' style cowboy tunes from an era long since past. . . . the band members are all between 10 and 12 years old on this album. (except a dad who helps out) Their performance is consistently flashy and their playing and singing could only be called 'virtuoso'. . . . . Keep in mind, however that this is Nickel Creek BEFORE they were heavily influenced by everyone from Radiohead to the Beatles. . . . . . . this is music for KIDS to enjoy, but it is neither modern/current, nor does it bear resemblance to the latest bluegrass/modern rock hybrid that we SOOOOOO love them for. Chris Anderson . Nickel Creek Origins... I hoped that this collection would be suitable for both myself (as a strong supporter of Nickel Creek) and my two children. I purchased this CD shortly after finding out that Nickel Creek would be disolving their union as a band. This CD honestly fails to deliver a suitable substitution for the music that Nickel Creek produced over the past 7 years. Although, I guess that was an unrealistic expectation to have for this CD. You have to keep in mind that the members of Nickel Creek were just children themselves when they released this CD. I don't believe that they had found their true musical identity, and they obviously wouldn't have reached their full musical potential yet. This CD isn't really the best for a todler either, so I have to say that this purchase was a let down overall. .
