i wouldnt consider myself a big or even medium size nickel creek fan. i will say that i love their cover of pavement’s “spit on a stranger,” but i havent been able to get much into the actual recordings. still, when i hear em, i never turn em off. nickel creek singer/songwriter/fiddler sara watkins recently released her john paul jones produced self titled debut via nonesuch. after spending the good part of a week with her debut, i have started to re-think my blase attitude by nickel creek cause this record is so damn good. her voice is absolutely stunning. to paraphrase a quote from kids in the hall’s brain candy she’s got a voice thats “like gods reaching down and rubbing my tummy.” the musicianship and too shabby either. check her out….

all this time
