Nickel Creek
"This Side" (CD)

Nickel Creek's sophomore album is more of the beautifully crafted pop-jazz-bluegrass fusion that has earned the group legions of fans worldwide.

There's no real clear distinction from one album to the next for me. Some people want to say that Nickel Creek explored more specific genres from one album to the next, but for me each album is just a continuation of the band's exploration of their genre-blurring talents.

This album is wonderful to listen to. Carefully recorded and mixed, its like candy to the ears.
