but you're good enough for me

My new love that I discovered all on my own:

Mindy Smith.

Folkish, mellow, voice-wise similar to Sara Watkins but much better. Her voice is clearer and prettier. Music wise she's got some similarities to Allison Krauss. Really great lyrics. So far some of my favorites are "Out Loud," "Edge of Love," "Please Stay," and "Tennessee." She's just really all around great. Very... therapeutic. I don't even mean lyrics wise, I just feel restored when I listen to her music for a little while. She just makes me feel better.

By the way... I discovered today that there's a new Nickel Creek CD: Reasons Why (The Very Best). Here's the tracklist:

The Lighthouse's Tale
Out of the Woods
When in Rome
Helena
Smoothie Song
Somebody More Like You
REasons WHy
Can't COmplain
I Should've Known Better
This Side
Jealous of the Moon
You Don't Have to Move That Mountain (live)
The Fox (live) - with Bach's E Major Partita and Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues" in the middle

AND videos (I guess music videos? haven't looked yet) of:
Reasons Why
When You Come Back Down
Lighthouse's Tale
This Side
Speak
Smoothie Song
When in Rome


So that's pretty cool. I'm glad I've got it, although I think they left of a couple of great ones... I guess the only one I can think of at the moment is Doubting Thomas. That should have DEFINITELY made the cut. Maybe they could have included a few more live ones. Either way, it's a Nickel Creek CD, and I love them, and they're breaking up indefinitely, so I bought it. :)
