Yes, it is definitely something “new and refreshing” and I particularly liked Bygones. Sufficiently inspired now to buy the vinyl version as well… !

Coyne Thu, 09 Apr 2009 23:03:13 +0000 http://www.countryuniverse.net/?p=9425#comment-60051 I failed to mention my appreciation for the line about manufactured nostalgia. That’s one of my pet peeves about current country music, both “mainstream” and “alternative.”

Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:42:12 +0000 http://www.countryuniverse.net/?p=9425#comment-59873 Yeah, I had remembered reading an interview with her where she shared that that was the only Nickel Creek song she had written, that Chris and Sean got her into writing right at the end if Nickel Creek.

Kevin, “Reasons Why” is one of my all time favorite Nickel Creek songs too, up there with “When In Rome” and “This Side”.

Some people didn’t enjoy it, but despite being different I thought it was a very standout song. Chris D. pointed out in his review that she wrote it which I didn’t remember.

Coyne Wed, 08 Apr 2009 02:09:01 +0000 http://www.countryuniverse.net/?p=9425#comment-59843 I should add that Sara sings lead on two of my favorite Nickel Creek songs – “Reasons Why” and “Anthony” – and shares lead on another fave, “Speak.” I’m very partial to Chris Thile, but he was one of three great talents in that band.
