2004-10-26

23-year-old mandolin master Chris Thile (Thee-lee) has lead bluegrass phenoms Nickel Creek to international popularity. Yet, his vision consistently leads him beyond the bounds of his band.

Thile now delivers his 4th solo album and the first featuring vocals. Chris acts as the sole musician on the new disc, playing over 25 instruments - from his signature mandolin to percussion, strings and keys.
