I prefer this to their later style.
This earlier work is much cleaner and it really showcases their awesome musicianship and vocal talent. I much prefer this CD over their later rock/blue grass fusion style. We use this music in our ballet class as well as Alison Krauss and Union Station. We found one of Nickle Creeks later CDs not as beautiful to listen too and not able to use for our dance classes. I think it is great that they decided to experiment and develop their style, but I much prefer this CD over all the rest.


Superb performance and recording
After listening to a sample at Borders Books, I bought it and took it home. I took interest in this recording because it was a multichannel SACD. This group is extremely talented, and they let their skills speak for themselves. The 5. 1 sound is very well done. I just finished listening to the high resolution stereo version of the album, and it doesn't carry the weight of the surround mix.

It's just plain beautiful music, something I was beginning to suspect died a long time ago. My only question now is when their newest album (Why Should the Fire Die) be released on SACD? .


One of the best instrumental groups ever
The vocals are wonderful too, what awesome talent! They turn bluegrass into a whole new genre. The instrumentals in this album of young people is absolutely amazing. I can listen to this album over and over and I am a "classic rocker".

They sing and play from the heart and it shows. If you have any kind of fondness for bluegrass you must buy this.


Great Record
I love this CD! It's a mixture of Bluegrass and I'm not-sure-what, but the music is great, the musicians are great, and the recording is wonderful.
