I have thought about it. I mean just going to see Nickel Creek in an outdoor venue is still a little heebie jeebie to me.

I understand what you are saying. Lot of factors in play especially for people with small children. Our kids are 7 and 10 and they have had Covid at least once. I want to go to see them in Nashville but I already had bought tickets to Josh Ritter and Adeem The Artist at the Ryman on the same night.
 
So I really like the New Nickel Creek, it’s not their best. I’d have to think about ranking before I could rank it.

It’s not a bad thing, because I love him dearly, but I don’t listen to Nickel Creek to listen to Punch Brothers except with the Watkins…. If that makes sense. A Dotted Line (hell, Fire, too) pointed to this trend. Like I said it’s not the end of the world, I love his music, but it would just be nice to get that collaborative feel. He’s always the biggest voice in whatever room he’s in.
