That Nickel Creek album is not a live one, but I just love that performance of the song. I have a hard time choosing Beatles' albums, and Revolver is definitely up there, but Abbey Road was probably my first and most often listened to album. There is one guy that ties together Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, Chris Thile, and he is definitely my current musical idol. He is just an amazing amazing musician. I have started to really get into the sort of new style bluegrass scene, I have heard it referred to as bluejazz, and he is definitely at the forefront. Nickel Creek is his first band, and I think they started in like 1989 when he was really really young. Chris Thile (Mandolin), and all the guys from Punch Brothers, Noam Pikelny (Banjo), Paul Kowert (Bass), Chris Eldridge (Guitar), and Gabe Witcher (fiddle) all have some amazing projects on their own. It's a really cool scene combining great elements of bluegrass, jazz, and classical. And, I am working my way back into making music. Starting in December taking some classes at The Old Town School of Folk Music here in Chicago to get the music flowing again.

What a beautiful album Kind of Blue is. Thanks for the reminder.

Punch Brothers- Antifogmatic

Ben Harper- Diamonds on the Inside

Ben Folds- Whatever and Ever Amen

Nickel Creek- A Dotted Line (Pretty new album, but I can't stop listening to it)

The Beatles- Abby Road (Gotta have a Beatles Album)

I couldn't find a lot of whole albums but here are at least a song from each:
