Nickel Creek (2000) is a self-titled album by the acoustic/"newgrass" trio known as Nickel Creek. Although the group had released two albums prior to this, they are not produced anymore and the band's style was redefined before the release of Nickel Creek; therefore this album is considered their debut album. It was released by Sugar Hill Records, and produced by country star Alison Krauss.
