Nickel Creek - Nickel Creek (2LP)

On their Alison Krauss-produced debut, Nickel Creek serve up an ethereal fusion of bluegrass, Celtic, modern folk, and even classical influences. This 2-LP set was cut from the original high resolution sources by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and pressed at MPO on 180-gram vinyl and is housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.

The album features an eclectic collection of material, original and borrowed. Highlights include the instrumentals Ode to a Butterfly, Robin and Marian, and Pastures New. Perhaps most striking, are the evocative vocals on Out of the Woods and the band's cover of When You Come Back Down.
