'sun midnight sun' follows sara watkins' critically acclaimed self-titled solo debut produced by john paul jones. 'sun midnight sun' was recorded, mixed, and mastered by shawn everett at zeitgeist studio, los angeles, and includes songs written by watkins ('you and me', 'take up your spade') as well as several collaborations with mills ('the foothills', 'be there', 'the accord', 'impossible', and 'lock and key'). it also features songs by dan wilson ('when it pleases you') and willie nelson ('i'm a memory'), and a rendition of the everly brothers classic 'you're the one i love', on which fiona apple duets with watkins. in 1989, sara watkins, barely out of her childhood, started playing in a nascent version of nickel creek at the seemingly unlikely venue of that pizza place in carlsbad, california, along with her guitarist brother sean and mandolinist friend chris thile (and chaperoned, of course, by her bluegrass-playing parents). the prodigious young trio built a reputation in bluegrass, folk, and country circles, then catapulted to mainstream prominence in 2000 after releasing an album produced by alison krauss. when not on the road or in the studio with nickel creek, watkins guest-starred as fiddler and / or harmony vocalist on albums by bela fleck, the chieftains, ben lee, dan wilson, richard thompson, and ray la montagne, among others. in addition, watkins and brother sean established an informal get-up-and-jam residency called the watkins family hour at l.a. club largo, 'an uber-cool but cozy music and comedy club in hollywood,' as sean has put it.
