Why Should The Fire Die?

Nickel Creek

Sugar Hill Records, 2005

REVIEW BY: Duke Egbert

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 08/22/2005

A logical extension of the "sophomore slump" is, if you'llforgive me running the metaphor into the ground, the "juniorjitters." In other words, you've put out one incredible album andone disappointing one; what the third one looks like is, in truth,a measure of the artist's resiliency and staying power.

Nickel Creek is a textbook example. No one can argue that theband's core of Sean and Sara Watkins and Chris Thile aren'ttalented. The question is whether they could recover from a secondCD ( This Side) that, frankly, I thought was a bit underplayed,forced and awkward. When Why Should The Fire Die? arrived in my mailbox, I approachedit with an odd mix of anticipation and apprehension.

Turns out I shouldn't have worried. Fire is a brilliant CD.

First off, the bass is back. Tracks like "Can't Complain" and"Stumptown" have real thumping bass sound to them, courtesy of MarkSchatz. Secondly, the production is clear and crisp, a definiteimprovement over This Side's shallow and ephemeral sound.
