"Drunkard's Prayer is one my most listened to pieces of music. The vocals, words and music touch every part of my soul. I relate to the stories told and am entertained by their telling. Great music."
Buy it.

"Four months ago I had never heard of Over the Rhine. I have three of their CDs now, and can't make myself pull them from the changer in my car's glove box. One reason is the sheer power of Karin Bergquist's voice, which she commands like a musical instrument, vamping as well as any female vocalist out there. Instrumentation and arrangement [and engineering] are spot-on, the lyrics are genuinely interesting, and the various musical genres are represented with flawless originality . Buy this CD if you like Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Jennifer Knapp, Daughter Darling, etc. You'll never regret the purchase unless you can't stand depth in your music.KansasThe Way I AmAerialLittle EarthquakesScarlet's WalkSweet Shadows"

"When I first heard Karin's voice i loved it. Linford's talents just enhance the couples musical bluesy chemistry. Every song tells a story
not just to spark your imagination but to teach you to open your heart, tear down your walls and let the real you emerge with someone you love and trust. I was given Ohio, Snow Angels, and Drunkard's Prayer by a special friend with an excellent ear for music. I would like to see OtR in person. If you get the chance I think it would be worth it.
Linford writes these beautiful newsletters and shares their lives with their fans. Yeah, we appreciate your talent. Thanks. rp"
Soulful and stirring

"This music surprised me with its soul and sound. My friend saw the band in concert and told me how they talked about coming to the table with a bottle of wine and two glasses and working out some things in their marriage and working out this album. Now maybe that is not exactly the story, but it was a great story and i bought the CD. Every time I play the music....at parties, in the background, in class...people always stop mid-sentence and say, Who is singing? GET THIS CD. AT LEAST ONE COPY. It is one of those CDs you can give to a friend and be certain they love it."
