Free Music Notes for Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Free Music Review: Bluegrass for a New Generation
Hit: 5 Stars
When I received a copy of Nickel Creek's self titled album as a birthday gift a few years back, I had no idea the amazing journey that I would embark on because of it. I had heard "When You Come Back Down" on the radio a few times, and had summarily dismissed Nickel Creek as another teenage pop one-hit wonder, but with a mandolin. I could not have been more wrong. As it turned out, the single was the weakest song on an amazing CD, led by perhaps the single most talented musician under the age of 30 alive today.
I heard glimpses of Thile's genius on the first NC album, but it was not until the purchase of Not All Who Wander Are Lost did I recognize the true power of this young musician. Scripting music for some of the most legendary names in bluegrass, Thile composed an album that is not only mind-boggling in its musical virtuosity, but also breathtaking in its scope. Without saying a word, Thile transports the listener from a lovelorn queen (Song for a Young Queen), to the midst of Bilbo Baggins and Middle Earth (Riddles in the Dark), to the enchanted, magical world of Calvin and Hobbes (Club G.R.O.S.S.) He delves into his own history (Big Sam Thompson), as well as Biblical history (Sinai to Canaan.) Finally, in what is undoubtedly the highlight of the album, Thile paints a musical landscape with Raining at Sunset. I could write superlatives for days about this track, but calling it the standout track of this record says all that needs to be said.
In addition to the incredible performances and songwriting, the production on this album is all but flawless. With Thile and Gary Paczoa behind the console, the alubm was shaped into exactly what Chris wanted. Also, true to the style of the finest musicians, this alubm was recorded in a week. Incredible.
I could not give a higher recommendation than I give to this record. As of this point, I have given away 8 copies of the album, only to purchase more. I simply love it too much not to give it away and let other experience it the way I have.
This album, along with the earlier records of Nickel Creek, have opened my eyes to the enchanting world of bluegrass music. While I still enjoy other artists, there is something mystical about Thile's work that puts him above everyone else. Perhaps it is because this was my first love in the genre, but I think, just maybe, it is because there really IS something magical about the music made by this extraordinary young man.
Not All Who Wander Are Lost Poster
Set free from the bluegrass and folk conventions of Nickel Creek, Generation X's most prodigious mandolinist doesn't so much stretch out as explode. Yes, the barely legal Thile is surrounded by the most dominant players in acoustic music--Stuart Duncan, Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, Jerry Douglas, and Bryan Sutton--but this 12-song suite of "newgrass," Celtic, and old-timey instrumentals has Thile's searing stamp all over it. His lyrical, almost liquid style, even on the hottest seven-minute jams, accents melodic continuity over attack, intricate counterpoint over frenetic collision. And his compositions, as open-ended as post-bop jazz and as jiggy as a sweaty contra dance, inspire these genuinely great musicians to performances both refreshing and profound. --Roy KastenCountry Music CDs
