Over The Rhine - An Aural Gift for All

I first read about "Over The Rhine" in Paste Magazine. I heard the cut "Trouble" on one of their sample disks and I was hooked. Fun, jazzy arrangements with the sultry vocals of Karin Bergquist, who sounds like she enjoys vamping it up and wants to get into trouble! Not really a bad cut on this...

Wonderful versatility

I always enjoy listening to Over the Rhine, and so was intriqued by their new CD and the mixed reviews. Personally, I loved Trumpet Child, even though it is a definite departure from their usual musical style. The music ranges from haunting to playful, and is always beautiful. This is a definite...

A Nice Addition to the OTR Catalogue

Over the Rhine is a band I've been listening to since the early nineties. OTR has the imaginative ability to reach new heights using any style they choose. Trumpet Child is no exception. Pushing away from the gospelesque swoons of Ohio and Drunkard's Prayer, their latest release is a collection...

Best OTR Album Yet...

I love every single song on this album. I saw them on this tour before I knew any of these songs - amazing. Any and all of their albums are excellent, but this one creates a intimacy with the listener right away with "I Don't Wanna Waste Your Time." Karen and Linford's lyrical mastery continues...

New Orleans Gumbo

It's hard to imagine anyone who likes more than two or three OTR albums not liking "Trumpet Child" - by definition you must have fairly eclectic tastes and a wide range of appreciation. This album has a few *classic* songs on it..and by that I mean that in 30 years, someone will hear them and it...

One of the best albums out there

I really can't listen to this c.d. enough. I keep trying to take it out of the c.d. player, but I just can't push the eject button. This playful, sultry and soul searching album is a must have.

Awesome Music to the Ears of A New Fan

I have a part time job moonlighting at my local Starbucks. First of all, kudos to Starbucks for creating such awesome playlists with such awesome artists. Because of these playlists, I've discovered such awesome artists as k-os and Morcheeba among others. So as I was working one night, I heard...

Frequently referential, rarely derivative

On most albums there are a few songs I like, and the rest I skip. But listening to The Trumpet Child over and over, I seldom find myself reaching for the "next track" button. Until I heard a review of this album on Public Radio a few weeks ago, I had never heard of Over the Rhine. Now I am a...

Don't expect sad and heart-wrenching

I've been following OtR since 1994, and I fully expected a long list of 5 star reviews for The Trumpet Child. Ohio, GDBD and Drunkard's Prayer are gems best listened too with a glass of wine on a lonely night, and those of you looking for more music to enhance your heart ache will be...

The Trumpet Child

A great band a good album. Not my favorite from this group, Drunkards prayer, Good Dog Bad Dog are to name a couple, but it is still spending a lot time on our stereo.
