Spring Creek's Rural and Cosmic Bluegrass, self-released circa 2006, is the Colorado-based band's debut album. Taylor Sims plays guitar and sings; Chris Elliott, banjo; with Fred Weisz and Jim Rigsby completing the original founding lineup—specific instruments for Weisz and Rigsby are unconfirmed in available documentation. Twelve tracks of traditional repertoire—including "Little Maggie," "Ruby Are You Mad," and "Clinch Mountain Freak Out"—alongside originals from the South Plains College-connected quartet. The album captures the band's developing sound before the lineup shifts and festival wins that established Spring Creek as a leading Colorado voice in contemporary traditional bluegrass and led to national distribution through Rebel Records.
