Just picked up the Nickle Creek album a while back and REALLY am impressed by it. Can't quite figure out how they were being marketed as the new WunderKinde of Country music - not that I wouldn't love to see them get as much fame and recognition as possible (Anyone doing Robert Burns, an instrumental 'inspired' by the original Lord of the Rings books, AND trad. folk on a CD is doing jes' fine by me).
Alison Krause (sp? It's late and I'm lazy) does production on it as well. Only really noticeable on a few VERY 'Alison' songs, but mostly it seems that the group shines through on their own work.
