Thanks to jasdye, I now know that Over the Rhine has a new CD coming out this month. I also now know that I really like it; they're streaming it on their site right now. Tracks 1 and 5 are my favourites; # 5 (entitled "Trumpet Child," just like the album) kind of gives me the chills.
Just had to let you all know.

HEY! I followed the link to check it out and they sound great! I am preordering a copy of the album. I have heard of Over The Rhine, but I don't recall ever actually hearing them.
Great songs and I really like all the slide guitar.
Thanks, Jenn.
Yay! A convert! (If only real evangelism were so easy . . . )
Glad you liked it, too. I'm really excited for it to finally come out--though I'll probably wait to get it until I can ask for it for Christmas. ;) Meanwhile, I'll listen to it as background music for my on-line activities for as long as possible.
I had gotten a little bored with OTR because it felt like they had repeated the same formula over again. This new ablum has made me change my mind.
yeahh!
glad to share the love. or music.
CubeRev--that is EXACTLY how I felt!
Jasdye--thanks again!
Hey Jen -
We're big fans of OTR here (I proposed to my wife at a show back in 97).
I think my new fav off the release is Don't wait for Tom.

Pete--welcome! That's a great story. And yeah, DWFT is a really good song, too. Brilliant lyrics . . .
We have tickets to see OTR here in a few weeks and I am so excited! We've never seen them in concert. I also didn't know their new album was that close to being released. Hooray!
Jenn--lucky you. Have fun! I haven't ever been to one of their concerts either, but maybe I can convince someone to go w/me to see their show in Boston in September or whenever it is.
