After several nominations in previous years, the wunderkinds of Nickel Creek finally won this year in the Best Contemporary Folk category. It’s a bit odd they were nominated in this category since they seem to me to be more country than folk. Allison Krauss is their producer & patron after all. But it doesn’t really matter, since they are greatly deserving of this award. If you like thoughtful, literate, original songwriting talent combined with remarkable musicianship–then buy their new CD and enjoy!
I absolutely love Nickel Creek. Honestly, they’re one of my top three favorite groups and can do no wrong. I love the depth of their songs and videos. Don’t like country, but LOVE Nickel Creek.
I hadn’t heard they one a Grammy. Congrats, they totally deserve it.
