This side

"This Side, Nickel Creek's sophomore release, finds bandmembers Chris Thile, Sara Watkins, and Sean Watkins out of their teens and into their twenties after playing together for 12 years. The southern California band's self-titled debut received wide critical acclaim for welding jazz, rock, and classical music to a bluegrass base ... Nickel Creek's music is endlessly rewarding nonetheless, and accessible to just about everyone".

"When Nickel Creek formed in 1989, siblings Sara and Sean Watkins and Chris Thile were not yet 13 years old. Three decades later, Craft Recordings is reissuing three albums by the prodigiously talented trio whose influence on the bluegrass/Americana scene can hardly be overstated. These are (...) going to be an absolute must-have for the band's fans while serving as a revelatory introduction to anyone with a passing interest in the genre. Picking representative tracks seems silly because there are so many standout songs expressing myriad musical influences and messages ... 'I Should Have Known Better' on This Side is a hybrid funk-butt bluegrass love song with a beatbox bent ... Overall, this painstakingly crafted project is worthy of the brilliant artistry captured within".
