| jnhashmi (Manhattan Beach/Los Angeles) | Posted: Oct 12, 2006 - 23:23 Sheryl Crow? Are you people crazy? The difference between this singer and Sheryl Crow is that this person can SING. Do this test: listen to "Leaving Las Vegas" once all the way through, taking careful notice of the singing voice. That is one of the worst vocal performances ever to be passed on to the public. It's awful. Who ok'd that? Really. Do the test, you may not have noticed before, but you'll see. |
| kevin36 | Posted: Sep 28, 2006 - 07:03 I'd like to hear more from this group on RP. (Maybe that because I'm from Over the Rhine.) |
| wade44 (2900 Km East of Paradise, CA) | Posted: Aug 15, 2006 - 10:10 Along with many others, I thought this was Sheryl Crow. |
| smilestoomuch (Mad City, WI) | Posted: Aug 15, 2006 - 10:08 OTR always makes me smile. Got to see them again in early July at Lifest in Oshkosh, WI. It was a really scaled back set with just a drummer. I think it was the same guy on this album, Ohio. |
| Rob_S (Lancaster, PA) | Posted: Jul 31, 2006 - 18:28 RP's playing of this song led me to buying this album, and finally seeing OTR in concert not that long ago. This particular track is better on the album, but almost every other song was superb in concert. My best concert value in ages. |

| ashbyman (NYC) | Posted: Feb 18, 2005 - 13:37 You listen to far too much Cher
I don't know if I could name a Cher song other than Believe, Turn Back Time and I Got You Babe, but I think those three songs in themsleves might well qualify as "too much Cher" So I think he's got me. THis is my first day here. I can't express how impressed I am with the website this station and the concept in general. Just excellent. |

It looks to me like you should leave your "rich,snobby" Proctoid blighted cluster F suburb of Blue Ash, Indian Hill, Mason, or wherever you reside because you are unhappy. I live in Downtown Cincinnati and enjoy being surrounded by many friends from all walks of life. I make the best of what (little) Cincinnati has to offer and I'm happy. Hey, we could be trapped in Rapid City, South Dakota.....now that would suck...... :? 8) I'm going on vacation to South Africa March 8th, give me your address, I'll send ya a post card. |

Well if you want to compare the Queen City to other countries around the world--particularly third-world countries--you have a point. And I'm glad you get to travel. Most of the locals I have met have never left the tri-state area, so have no point of reference. I actually have visited many countries and have spent time in all 50 States. Yes, there is worse. There also is so much better. I left the melting pot of DC suburbia to come here. I live in the "rich, snobby" side of Porkopolis.

| zgrav | Posted: Jan 12, 2005 - 13:19 I would add Kathleen Edwards as a possible sound alike as well, but that's just because she also sounds like Lucinda Williams. |
| upinya (Raleigh, NC) | Posted: Jan 12, 2005 - 13:18 I think there should be more songs that play the same 4 chords for 4 minutes in a row. We don't want to confuse the musicians too much. Blah. This is music with a lowercase m. |
| dirtroosters | Posted: Jan 12, 2005 - 13:18 I listened to, and saw, Over the Rhine a lot when I lived in Cincy, and I NEVER would have guessed this was her singing. Different sound...not bad. |

Amen. Ohio has become one of my favorite albums. Not a bad song on it. Actually, I've got a couple of OTR albums, and haven't heard anything I don't like on any of them. |

I've got to agree. I haven't heard any song by them that I like yet, and her voice always seems to be straining. |

Thank you, Radio Paradise, for making the crossing a more pleasant experience. The other songs I've heard from them are better (imho). Nice band -- but does anyone know where they're from? Ohio? The Rhineland? They're from Cincinnati, OH. The band's name comes from an area of downtown Cincinnati, called "Over the Rhine"; it was home to many of the city's German immigrants years ago, and is close to the Ohio river--hence, the reference to the Rhine. That particular area is in, shall we say, disrepair and is a bit of a high crime area, plus has been the recent location for some questionable shootings by the police.

In fact here's a crazy idea -- take a random 10% of the songs in current rotation, and pick -another- song from the same album. It's my only, small complaint as I continue to regularly listen to RP ... the exploration I would like to hear of an album is not there. Does RP suffer from the same restrictions on the number of songs of an artist that can be played per hour per album, etc.? Even if so, I still think we could have some more alternatives to songs in rotation. thx - q Bill, add my voice to Quaid's, above. RP is certainly excellent, and it could be...astounding. |
| laozilover (Left of Chicago & up) | Posted: Nov 19, 2003 - 06:32 Okay, so it sounds like Cher, and Sheryl Crow, and Lucinda Williams, but this is the second time I've clicked here and *almost* clicked right though to buying the album. If Bill'd play ANOTHER track from this album, I'd likely click on thru even though I am overbudget on new CDs right now.... A solid "8" for me! |
