Nickel Creek - Why Should The First Die? (2LP)

Why Should the Fire Die? is Nickel Creek's first album without Alison Krauss in the producer's chair, and on it, the trio's genre-expanding acoustic music has evolved even farther away from its bluegrass origins. The album earned Nickel Creek two GRAMMY nominations: the award for Best Contemporary Folk Album, and the award for Best Country Instrumental Performance (Scotch & Chocolate).

This 2-LP set was mastered ALL-ANALOG from the original tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and pressed at MPO on 180-gram vinyl, and is housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve.
