You don't have to move that mountain

[rascole16]

When did Nickel Creek make and what album is it on
You Don't Have to Move That Mountain

[NCLuver333]

You Don't Have to Move that Mountain is actually a cover, if I'm not mistaken.
And it was on their second album, Here to There, which is currently not in print, which I think they recorded in either 1997 or 98.
It's a great song. [noise]

Actually, they've also recorded it on yet ANOTHER album that came out a few years before Here To There (and after Little Cowpoke), though I don't know the name of it...but it was only released as a cassette and the photo of the album liner's been posted on this board before *nods* Needless to say though, that is also out of print...

If I'm not mistaken its a Keith Whitley song. Unfortunately, I do not have any studio versions of this song yet.

Here to there was copywrited in 1997 so it was probably recorded in 1996. And yes the cd is great.... I am listining to it right now.[evil eye]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Someday I'm going to find that album.

Here to There always goes for just an obnoxious amount on Ebay.

We've discussed that before. I won't pay hundreds of dollars just to pad somebody's pocket like that. If it were NC selling it to me, I'd consider a higher amount than the usual 15 bucks but I'm not going to spend my college savings on a cd somebody has hidden away for a few years.

Can't really call that an album though, as it was only 6 songs. So what then to call it? How about the Nickel Creek Tape (as opposed the Nickel Creek album), since it was just self-titled. Sara looks older than Chris on the insert, though you know what they say about girls maturing faster than boys. Chris looks very similar to the cover of Leading Off, so I would guess it's from around 1994. There is no date on the cover, maybe there is on the cassette itself?

It appears Keith Whitley never released a recording of the song himself, but it appeared on Trisha Yearwood's Hearts in Armor in 1992. Whitley died in 1989 at the age of 34 from alcohol poisoning.

True, but there's little doubt that Nickel Creek learned it from Hot Rize, not Yearwood. It's on their 1987 album Untold Stories.

You Don't Have to Move That Mountain is a really great song. I recorded it on my demo last year and I have gotten a great response from it. I remember hearing it when I was little on Trisha's album, but I learned it from NC. It's a lot of fun. I have heard that Keith Whitley wrote it while going through his drinking problems. He was a great songwriter. I do plan on recording it on a bigger project in the future, but I was proud that I was able to put it on my demo. :)
