Sugar Hill records is trying to promote the new Nickel Creek CD in a variety of ways. One promotion is a new radio show that they produced in the hopes that stations would be willing to run a one hour special on Nickel Creek.

It's kind of a funny interview - it sounds to me like the host of the show (Rusty Miller, Nashville-based Americana DJ) wasn't really the person who did the interview - they just pasted his questions in later. But it's actually quite an interesting interview.

Here's part one of the show:

I don't think this will be here long, so enjoy it while you can.

[Jimmie]

Not much response to this, but I assume that a few people listened. In any event, here's part 2:

It's a sizeable download (for those using dial-up anyway), but it's worth it.

[mandoBob]

cool. thanks.

Have to say I liked part one.. a little corny considering most of our knowledge of the band but still interesting :) I would like to hear more!

Maybe you need to read the thread more carefully?

Part 2 is listenable right now, hopefully part 3 will be along tomorrow.

[Johnny Do]

i was writing that as i was downloading the file, but thanks for the concern :)

[Jimmie]

Sorry, Johnny, it sounded like you were waiting for it to show up.

Anyway, part 3 is up now:

It covers the next three songs on the album....

[dhiggins]

Thanks for posting these. I've really enjoyed them.

[Jimmie]

I'm glad you're enjoying them. If all goes well, I'll be able to provide pointers to the remaining parts on Saturday and Sunday.

[NCFreak]

Did anyone save parts one and two? I missed 'em. [bang]

[mandofocus]

Yeah I have all three so far

-PJ- :cool:

[Jimmie]

Part 4 is up:

Enjoy!

Hey Jimmie how come the links form section 1,2 and 3 dont work anymore?

[Jimmie]

Because only one section at a time is available at the server.

[mandofocus]

The thing I like best about these are that if a person didn't have the cd yet (geex they would be soooo behind the times), They could listen to this and get to hear every single song off of the cd and also hear the explainations for each song.
That is so cool.

-PJ- :cool:

[Jimmie]

OK, the final portion of the show is on the server now:

Thanks for posting these. I was able to listen to the last two. It's been several months since I've heard NC interviewed. Chris' and Shawn's voices were higher than I remembered and Sara's was lower. They sound so young! Makes me even more amazed at what they can turn out on their songs. So talented!

I just love listening to Sara yodel at 11 or 12 years old. It's wonderful!

[lruthie]

Wow, Sara sounded so awesome with the whole yodeling thing! Thanks for that link.

Yeah...get someone to send 'em to ya. :D

[Uriah]

Thanks Bryan. :p :D

[lovedixie42]

[Jimmie]

Part 1 is back.....

Who are the men and woman talking at the beginning of Part one?

Who are the men and woman talking at the beginning of Part one? Good question, none of them are introduced. I'm quite certain that the first one is Dolly Parton. The second one might be one of the McCourys, but I'm not at all sure about that. I have no idea who the third one is.

[Jimmie]

And finally, here are parts 2 through 5, slightly edited and all rolled into one segment:

[Uriah]

Is there any way someone could type some excerpts from the first one?
(a full transcription would be cool too ;) :D )
I assume it's all the *stars* talking about Nickel Creek's talent....but thus far I've managed to miss it both times it's been up. I assume I just get home too late, and by the time I do, they've already 'expired' it to move onto the next day's track.
Bryan graciously sent me the first one, but the file seems to be corrupt and I can't listen to it.

Thanks in advance.
