Nickel Creek - Why Should The Fire Die?

It is the band's most creative and intrepid record yet and on it they dish out organic, roots influenced songs with plenty of eclectic twists and turns. Highlights include a sweet cover of Dylan's "Tomorrow Is A Long Time," "Helena," the edgy "Best Of Luck," and "Jealous Of The Moon," co-written by Gary Louris of The Jayhawks.
