  • TITLE: House of Tom Bombadil (Track 4 on the album "Nickel Creek")
  • MUSICIANS: Nickel Creek
  • GENRE: bluegrass! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
  • CANONICAL TOLKIEN or ORIGINAL? original, Tolkien-related only by its title and style (and the fanship of the musicians, especially one)
  • REVIEW: This is one of those CDs I never would have looked at, but a brother with a very widespread and excellent taste in music surprises and delights me with his annual gifts. Bluegrass is not my usual style, but this is such high quality that the style doesn't matter. The one Tolkien-related title is instrumental, a cheerful dance with a folksy, Irish sound to it. I can easily imagine that the Springle-ring could be danced to it! It does seem to be very much in the spirit of Ring-a-dong-dillo! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
  • DO YOU RECOMMEND IT? very much so - though most of the album isn't Tolkien-related; it's very well done, highly enjoyable music, mostly vocal, several instrumental titles. I've listened to this CD more than any other one in the past two years.
  • PRICE YOU PAID 'Twas given to me for Christmas 2001
  • WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT (see above)
