26 Miles - Sean Watkins
Despite my favor for the group Nickel Creek, I've so far only posted concerning individual members. Back in January about Chris Thile's album Not All Who Wander Are Lost and now concerning 26 Miles by Sean Watkins.
Sean plays the guitar (mostly) on the group's recordings as well as singing lead and harmony vocals. 26 Miles is his second solo project and differs from the first, Let It Fall, in that there are only three instrumental tracks instead of the almost exclusive instrumentals on that first album. I've had my eye on this CD for some time and finally got one off of eBay.
The songs here are similiar to those you'll find on the album This Side. Musically I like This Side better and of course the vocal variety is missing (remember I'm coming from the perspective of hearing the group together) although Sara Watkins does do some of the harmony vocals on the song Locking Doors. That reminds me... I was looking at the tracks on Deceiver by Chris Thile and the songs on this CD and was wondering why they both have tracks titled Locking Doors and On Ice. Turns out to be because of "The Game." You can read more about that and a short explanation behind each song (pretty neat) at this link to Sean's website and in the bio section.
I think my votes for favorite songs go to:
