Reasons Why: The Very Best

Hot on the heels of Nickel Creek announcing their indefinite hiatus in 2007, Reasons Why demonstrates why the trio developed from three kids playing bluegrass in a pizza parlor in California to one of the most phenomenally successful, musically important acoustic groups in recent decades. This compilation juxtaposes songs from their three highly acclaimed albums to weave a thread of continuity from the gentle, lilting beginnings of hits like "Lighthouse's Tale" to trailblazing instrumentals including "Smoothie Song" to full-on acoustic rock of "Helena" and back to "When You Come Back Down" . Reasons Why features the band's most popular songs and all of their videos on one CD and one DVD and also includes rare live tracks from 2000, including fan favourites "You Don't Have To Move That Mountain" and "The Fox/Subterranean Homesick Blues" medley - Nickel Creek won a Best Contemporary Folk Album Grammy for this.
