Thile, best known for his vocals and mandolin work in Nickel Creek, is currently touring with the Punch Brothers, a group featuring guitarist Chris Eldridge, bassist Greg Garrison, banjo player Noam Pikelny and fiddler Gabe Witcher. Their new CD, Punch, is out on Nonesuch Records. ... Other albums released Tuesday include Tift Merritt's Another Country (Fantasy) and Trent Willmon's Broken In (Compadre/Music World Entertainment).
