As Nickel Creek integrated more rock and pop elements into their music, they went in a new direction with their 2005 album - enlisting producers Eric Valentine & Tony Berg. Why Should The Fire Die? features original material such as "When in Rome," "Helena" and "Jealous Moon." It also includes a cover of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow Is a Long Time." The Billboard Top 20 album earned two Grammy nominations; Best Contemporary Folk Album and Best Country Instrumental Performance ("Scotch & Chocolate").
