Rodney Crowell, The Houston Kid, 2001 on Sugar Hill Records
Released on CD in 2001 but issued on vinyl for the first time in 2024, this was Crowell’s tenth full length album.

Nickel Creek, self-titled, 2000 on Sugar Hill Records
Nickel Creek, self-titled, 2000 on Sugar Hill Records When I first started hearing about Nickel Creek I thought they were somehow related to Nickelback.
