    That is a Chris Thile thing. I have seen it with Chris and Mike Marshall, and others. Its a bit disconcerting, or I should say, it would be disconcerting for me if I were playing with a duet and my duet partner looked at me that way. Smiles, encouragement, shared enthusiasm, sure, but it does border on loving devotion.

    The flavor of this project is heartening, and I'm VERY glad to hear it. I can see some IBMA and other awards for them if this keeps up, plus a lot of folks that have been put off by Chris and his general refusal to play "real bluegrass" will warm to him in a big way. This is an outstanding move and I wish them great success.

    I admit this is probably the least excited I have been about a CT project, but after listening to the samples on the MP3 page I am coming around quickly!

    Funny, this is the first time I've ever been even remotely interested in a CT project. I'm excited about this one.

    I felt the same way Nate. The rest have been "meh", but the videos definitely have me interested.

    I agree! I'm sure I'll enjoy this album quite a bit, but it will just tide me over for a while until he gets going on another album with Edgar Meyer, or even more exciting, finally recording Bach!

    Well.......if the MP3 sound bites are any indication this is a GREAT bluegrass album.......I thoroughly enjoyed the snippets. Count me in for a purchase.

    I've listened , I've watched, I'll buy it...imho the best most listenable Chris Thile thing done in years...because there's a lot of BG there. Now that's probably the Kiss of death sales-wise and I venture to say won't sell as well as his Nickel Creek, Punch Bros stuff... but its nice to see people do these things for other than commercial reasons...

    Not only is this this the first CT recording I've looked forward to in a while, but this is the first time in a long time that I'm excited about a new recording. Judging from the videos, this absolutely nails it in the sweet spot. I am so happy they are doing this. I'll buy a copy. Heck, I'll buy three!

    Personally I think it was a fluke that Nickel Creek was commercial at all, but the Punch Brothers a commercial venture? I would say if there was a ever an example of musicians leaving behind any possibility commercial success in order to make the music they want to play it's those guys! I think if you look at CT's catalog (and the simple fact that he chose the mandolin when he could have played anything he wanted to) it's obvious he isn't driven by a desire to be commercial.

    As I said B/4, I didn't care for the Punch Brothers Ravinia Concert (Highland Pk, IL) a few years ago but I've already ordered the CD. The videos so far are great and the song selections are too. I can't wait hearing these classics performed by Thile and Davies.

    Well maybe he has had nothing commercially successful, but the intention was probably there on previous endeavours..this one though I doubt would have little expectation of making dough. But judging from the response on this thread it should be a million seller..maybe a big surprise for them...

    First run through right now. It's gonna be on high rotation the rest of the week. I like the ragged aesthetic to the whole project. Daves let's it all hang out and just goes for it.
