A year ago I didn't know who Chris Thile was, now he's converted me into a freaking bluegrass fanatic

That's how it happens. :/ All downhill from here, I'm afraid. He's just too good.

I bought a mandolin because of him about 20 years ago. Also, if you haven't... check out Billy Strings.

@@markupton1417 I also bought a mandolin because of Chris Thile, pretty much just this song, but It turns out he used an octave mandolin, so I will get one of those next

honestly a defining song from my childhood

I consider this to be Nickel Creek's "Brubeck piece" because of the time changes, especially in the chorus.

First song I ever heard by Nickel Creek; I just caught a piece of it over the loud speaker in a book store. I immediately bought the album and it/they have been among my favorite artists every since. Smoothie Song is the best running tune on the planet:) I saw Nickel Creek in Tucson just after When in Rome came out, saw Punch Brothers in Montana, and so many of their/his music are mine and my kids' enduring favorites! If you haven't yet, check out Chris' album with Yo Yo Mah, Edgar Meyer, and Stuart Duncan "the Goat Rodeo Sessions"; it is one of my other all time favorites.

Whatever type of mandolin Thile is playing in this video he needs to play more often. I also would love to hear him play guitar. I mean that as no disrespect to Sean Watkins who I consider - as his sister Sara(h) - a virtuoso.
@dculp92846 жыл бұрын
This is actually a bouzouki, which along with the different size and timbre than a mandolin, has slightly different tuning. By the way, when Nickel Creek started out Sean played mandolin and Chris played guitar, but they soon decided to switch, and the rest is history. :)
@downriverprod6 жыл бұрын
My greatest wish is to see Chris pick up the electric guitar and record an absolutely ridiculous alt/bluegrass album. He's got the voice for it, and the few heavier originals and covers he's done are amazing.

Josh Hana Have you ever checked out his album “Deceiver” (ca. 2004) ?
@jeffgaumond42505 жыл бұрын
@@JabezGill Deceiver is a great album. Several cuts explore the rock and roll potential of the mandolin, a rich field for exploration. On the album, Chris plays all the instruments (10 or 12 of them) and does all the vocals. I believe he won a Grammy for producing it. Definitely a must for all you Thile-philes out there.
