A Dotted Line by Nickel Creek
A Dotted Line is an album by Nickel Creek, released in 2014. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Destination”, on 7 lists with a best position of #2.
A Dotted Line, out on Nonesuch on April 1, 2014, is Nickel Creek's first album since the trio went on hiatus after their 2007 Farewell (For Now) Tour, and it lands right on the band's 25th anniversary. Chris Thile on mandolin, Sara Watkins on fiddle and her brother Sean on guitar pick up where they left off, only looser and bolder, with Eric Valentine producing.
The progressive acoustic streak is front and center: tunes that start as bluegrass and then twist into knotty pop, harmonies that sound like the three of them never spent a day apart. "Destination" and "Love of Mine" led the way as the first singles, and the covers show how wide their ears are, from Sam Phillips' "Where Is Love Now" to a wild-eyed run at Mother Mother's "Hayloft". A tour followed that April.
