Not All Who Wander Are Lost is the third solo album by American virtuoso mandolinist Chris Thile.
The record builds on his previous work in that it is largely bluegrass and newgrass inspired. Although Not All Who Wander Are Lost was Thile's third solo album, it is widely considered his first major one, primarily based on the fact that Nickel Creek's initial success came in 2000 with their platinum debut album.
The picture on the cover of the album was taken in June 2001 in San Francisco before a Nickel Creek show at the Great American Music Hall. [1]

[edit] Etymology
The album's title is taken from a poem in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. The full quote is "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king."
The title of track 4, "Riddles in the Dark" is also rooted in the works of Tolkien. It is the title of one of the chapters of "The Hobbit"; The chapter in which Bilbo and Gollum compete in a contest of riddles.
The title of track 7, "Club G.R.O.S.S." comes from the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip. The club was started by Calvin and his stuffed tiger, and stands for "Get Rid of Slimey GirlS."
