“Hanging by a Thread” Nickel Creek
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, so I decided to share something a bit different. BLUEGRASS!! Yes, I said it. BLUEGRASS!!
I am not a fan of Bluegrass or Country music in the least, but what a pleasant surprise when a friend of mine gave me a copy of this CD. ” This Side” is Nickel Creek’s sophmore album. Don’t get frightened by the Bluegrass genre that it’s been labeled with. It’s surprisingly good. The bluegrass staples are there; the guitar, mandolin and fiddle, but the country drawl vocals have been replaced with youthful and haunting peformances as shown in “Hanging by a Thread”.
If your not chicken to try it, I think you’ll like it. Their self- titled debut album, “Nickel Creek” is all instrumental if that’s your kinda thing.
Listen. Love it. Dance
