Nickel Creek are good pickers, but there is no Bluegrass in this song. In the rest of their music, you can't say there is any there either. Nickel Creek is New Grass. Which is POP Country to Real Country Music. I'm not saying their the same Talent
as POP Country. They have Talent, that POP Country will never see in their music. POP Country is as bad as Disco.
@bluegrasssingingman you are very wrong. If you listen to sean, his entire rhythm is backbeat bluegrass. The chord progressions arent bluegrass, the arrangements are and the orechestration is. I wouldn't give them crap for stepping outside the 5 chord genre that they so easily step outside of. It is a good thing.
@TheBigNeff84 it is Mike, he was around 12 there, search for 1993 Bluegrass Youth All-Stars to see the full video, also check out Michael Cleveland Part 1 to see some Vintage Mike. I play mandolin (not so well) in that video
@SuperGuitarman69 The record companies don't want you to get attached to a great artist/band. They need you to buy what they are putting out this week, and the next, and the next. The turn over in music today is ridiculous. Remember when you followed a band for years?.
@SuperGuitarman69 - Be careful what you wish for. Taylor Swift has a prodigious talent, but like Madonna's it's in marketing, not in music, in convincing every 13-year-old that they could sound just like that if they ever put their cellphone down.
Tim O'Brien is a great role model, proving that there's a pocket of sanity available if you set up shop at the edge just behind the cutting edge; you can have a life and create there without fear of becoming Shania Twain.
@SuperGuitarman69 They don't have the paparazi following them because they are not your "POP COUNTRY" of todays so called (country) music. I have been a Mark Chesnutt fan for a long time, He has (2) brand new cds out and todays "POP COUNTRY RADIO" won't play them! Thats why I have xm radio. People need to see where all your traditional country artists are playing at today! It is not Nashville! They are all in Branson now. They took the word COUNTRY out of country music!
@rockytopfarm I totally agree. I am a pro in the business. I know Mark pretty well. There are a few in the business that still love traditional that are new. I went out with Easton Corbin this weekend to sub for his guitar player. He is traditional and people do like him. So it is good for the industry
@blahman178 i will agree. thile is in my opinion the most amazing mandolin player walking the face of the earth. incredibly talented. i dont know how you can say buckethead is a terrible guitarist though. you may have heard one of his more bizarre pieces but he is also an amazing musician.
OH NOOOO!!!! Jazz played with BLUEGRASS Instruments...This will NEVER do....RUUUUNNNNNN everyone, they are trying to do something ORIGINAL! They will ruin Bluegrass for all who listen. If this doesn't bring on the 4 horsemen of the Apocalypse I don't know what will.
That may be, and you may play beautifully... but please tie it in to the amazing video we just watched! It feels like you're just using nickel creek to advertise yourselves.
Nickel Creek are awesome musicians, particularly Chris Thile, but without a rolling banjo, they cannot be regarded as a bluegrass band - sorry, that's just the way it is.
I got to hear them for the first time at a festival just north of Azusa, CA when Chris was only 12. You knew instantly you were witnessing something very special.
I got to see them many times including once from the front row at the Freight in Berkeley. I brought a live disc of Uncommon Ritual at Avery Fisher Hall and gave it to Chris. Years later and he records and tours with Edgar Meyer now. Coincidence? You be the judge:)
Listen to Thile at around 4:50 on video. He quotes "The Pink Panther Theme" and "My Favorite Things". Amazing player, in fact there all monster players.
@macvoutie absolutely brilliant. I had a discussion with the owner of a local jazz bar who said, "Jazz and Bluegrass are practically the same genre." and while that's a bit of a stretch, the influence is clear in what Monroe had in mind. Chop chords on 2 and 4 takes the place of a hi-hat. the improvisation requires the same degree of musicianship, but without the extended harmony. now, chord extensions begin to make their way into newgrass. Anyway, they're phenomenal musicians.
one of the mosy entertaining and enlightening bands of all times. i took my father and my son to one of their shows in Cincy several years ago and they had something special that could touch hearts with their music
I wouldn't say I'm glad that they broke up but it is nice to see them go their own way. Thile's solo stuff, and especially his duets with Mike Marshall have been worth it.
one day my pearents went out for dinner, then a babysitter came along with a clown, but the clown was a murderer, he kills relentless and he killed everyone and once the perents came home the male tried to defend but he failed he chainsawed his head off and the mom, well... shes history.
post it to 10 people or vids on you tube or the clown will be in your room at 3:30 am with a chain saw, oh and by the way dont scream nowone will hear you!!!it happened 2 me
There are a lot of artists who can perform complex rhythm and tonality. There are precious few who can make it "listen-able". Nickel Creek nailed nailed it.
WOW
Pure listening pleasure. Can't wait to see what these guys come up with in the future.
And thanks, bluegrassjourney, for posting this. I loved getting to finally see some footage from their early years.
Is it just me or is chris playing a different mandolin at around 5:41.........it apears to be a different headstock than his dudenbostel.....a mandola maybe, that they spliced in without the sound.....can anyone read the headstock....
it doesn't matter if they're "not true blue grass" because they aren't trying to be blugrass. They have opened themselves up to a much wider audiance and you can't really say that they were better when they started out. You may have liked their music better back then but that doesn't mean they were better at what they do.
This arrangement could be described like a fine vintage Cabernet or Merlot: Celtic Folk overtones accented by subtle flavors of Latin spice and post modern rhythm with a strong but pleasant finish ...
Part of history now. Grey Fox has to move. I will miss the hill. Part of the charm was going up there into the clouds and being on another planet for a few days. Comming down was comming down.
Don't know if anyone else spotted it before but there's definately some Inspector Gadget in there. Can I reccommend Hellecasters' version of Inspector Gadget to anyone with an ear for amazing guitar! It's 80s-tastic but good music's timeless right? :)
Bluegrass is world wide! You can find a jam on every contenent. Ranchera is very close to bluegrass- you just have to get over the Latino Cultural thing to enjoy it!
I saw them this summer with Fiona Apple in Columbus and it was amazing how they played their music. I totally loved the show and have driven my wife nuts listening to their music.
Nickel Creek are great muscicians. Never had bluegrass in my collection, but after getting into NK, I went out and bought some really old timey bluegrass
These guys are a group of incredibly talented individuals. I agree that all bands evolve over time and many may appreciate the direction the band is going. I don't think they have to stick to just traditional bluegrass, but from what ive heard lately, they're flirting with pop music. There is no doubt that these musicians are fantastic, and as long as they stay true to themselves and keep playing talented, they'll have a fan out of me!
Nickel Creek!! My fave band since The Beatles. I've got tickets to see them 11/18/07. My 6th and maybe last time seeing them perform live - for a while.
I already miss having a new recording from them. Maybe they'll record and just not tour. I hope so anyway.
so how was the show? I'm so jealous. I was in shreveport LA a few years back when they played there... didn't even know that they played the night I was there, or I would have been there!
It was excellent. And lots of fun. HOB on Sunset was packed and the audience was right there with them the whole way. I'd read how fabulous their concerts are and I've never seen one that wasn't great.
This was their last show on the 'Farewell for Now Tour'. (The 2 upcoming shows in Nashville aren't part of the tour.) They asked us to sing the final encore with them - When You Come Back Down. It was heartbreaking and Sara cried a bit.
i wish they would stay true to real bluegrass, the way they did when they were real young. don't like what they do today. not real bluegrss like they were
as much as I'd like to disagree with you, I can't. I like the traditional stuff they did too. Though the new album had some great great songs, coulda done without the fake drums and overdubs on the new album
Music is an evolution of the mind soul and body, their music has evolved at an incredible pace. Although I truely love traditional bluegrass you have to admire the amazing direction in which this band has gone. Taking tradition to a higher level. I only hope they can keep it up and keep amazing us with their incredible talent.
While it is good to understand the roots of your style, all genres should progress, and explore fusions with other styles. The reaction by bluegrass traditionalists to Nickel Creek, Railroad Earth, The David Grisman Quintet and other newgrass groups is rather reminiscent of the disdain jazz purists had for the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis's electric work. Great music is great music, regardless of genre.
It really is the same one. It says "The Epiphone" on the top. No other mandolin but that one says that. Its just at a weird angle. look a little closer.

my name is Christian passen, i am currently with the band "Crossing Fuzion" but i originated with the band "island" i will be posting videos every so often as i film our songs. in the meantime would you mind checking out the video i currently have posted and telling me what you think. comments are much appreciated.
my name is chris, i was wondering if you could take the time to check out my band videos and tell me what you think,through comments, messages, or ratings.
he didnt get his first dudenbostel till he borrowed it from that lawyer then he had to give that one back "the one with the chip in the head" and he got his own now i have a dudenbostel because of him
My friend that is a Dudenbostal through out if you will notice the clip at 05:42 is out of sync and the head stock of that particular instrument appears to be more along the lines of an "A" style instrument. Check the headstocks! Did you kno that theres a seven year waiting list to get a Dudenbostal?... I think they cost aboust as much as a Mercedes!
A friend of mine, Jackie Miller played that Dude on a Ronnie Reno CD and Chris borrowed that instrument. Seriously though, there are many builders out there as good as Lynn Dudenbostel ... the only difference is a budding mandolin superstar did NOT pick up a Summit, Kimble, Daley, Old Wave etc. The Stratocaster was a poor seller for Fender until Hendrix played one on stage, same with the Gibson Les Paul and Duane Allman.
Honestly I think it is best that Nickel Creek break up which they are going to do this year....becuase Chris deserves to be playing blyegrass...like he once was.
These guys are sick! end. Some hip changes. flip

so how was the show? I'm so jealous. I was in shreveport LA a few years back when they played there... didn't even know that they played the night I was there, or I would have been there!

It was excellent. And lots of fun. HOB on Sunset was packed and the audience was right there with them the whole way. I'd read how fabulous their concerts are and I've never seen one that wasn't great.
This was their last show on the 'Farewell for Now Tour'. (The 2 upcoming shows in Nashville aren't part of the tour.) They asked us to sing the final encore with them - When You Come Back Down. It was heartbreaking and Sara cried a bit.

i guess we have our own oppinions because i like what they do now a lot better. i still like real bluegrass though too.

as much as I'd like to disagree with you, I can't. I like the traditional stuff they did too. Though the new album had some great great songs, coulda done without the fake drums and overdubs on the new album

Music is an evolution of the mind soul and body, their music has evolved at an incredible pace. Although I truely love traditional bluegrass you have to admire the amazing direction in which this band has gone. Taking tradition to a higher level. I only hope they can keep it up and keep amazing us with their incredible talent.

While it is good to understand the roots of your style, all genres should progress, and explore fusions with other styles. The reaction by bluegrass traditionalists to Nickel Creek, Railroad Earth, The David Grisman Quintet and other newgrass groups is rather reminiscent of the disdain jazz purists had for the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Miles Davis's electric work. Great music is great music, regardless of genre.

Haha, they're so adorable here. When was this, 5, 6 years ago?

Bluegrass is vastly underrated... unfortunately. Some amazing talent comes from this genre that is so often overlooked.

cool video. look at 5:41, chris has a differant mandolin. thats kinda weird
mandolinsarethebest 4 years ago
Its not different. I have that mandolin. It was just at a weird angle.
torkle 4 years ago
.......no its not. the one at 5:41 is more of an A style head. They look NOTHING alike.
bellmando 4 years ago
It really is the same one. It says "The Epiphone" on the top. No other mandolin but that one says that. Its just at a weird angle. look a little closer.

That's the headstock of his Flatiron bouzouki.
It says "The Flatiron"

he didnt get his first dudenbostel till he borrowed it from that lawyer then he had to give that one back "the one with the chip in the head" and he got his own now i have a dudenbostel because of him

does any one know were i can find the tab on old cold coffee on the dashboard?
mandolinsarethebest 4 years ago
And I dont think that is a Dudenbostel mandolin becuase if you look at it paused at 05:42 it says The at the top....so I dont know.
loggyness 4 years ago
My friend that is a Dudenbostal through out if you will notice the clip at 05:42 is out of sync and the head stock of that particular instrument appears to be more along the lines of an "A" style instrument. Check the headstocks! Did you kno that theres a seven year waiting list to get a Dudenbostal?... I think they cost aboust as much as a Mercedes!

A friend of mine, Jackie Miller played that Dude on a Ronnie Reno CD and Chris borrowed that instrument. Seriously though, there are many builders out there as good as Lynn Dudenbostel ... the only difference is a budding mandolin superstar did NOT pick up a Summit, Kimble, Daley, Old Wave etc. The Stratocaster was a poor seller for Fender until Hendrix played one on stage, same with the Gibson Les Paul and Duane Allman.

That is the headstock of his Flatiron bouzouki spliced in the video for god-knows-what reason. It says "The Flatiron"
The mando he plays on that tune is definitely a Dudenbostel.

Honestly I think it is best that Nickel Creek break up which they are going to do this year....becuase Chris deserves to be playing blyegrass...like he once was.
