Your comment makes me cringe . . . as do most of the things you say on this site.

Oh well, freedom of speech as they say.

I can't get past the fact that they named their band after the most crack and crime infested areas in Cincinnati.
 
It's 2010 and things have changed. I think it was probably for the historical significance of OTR that they chose the name.

Except that Lucinda does really sound like a drunken whore (even in southern ears) in many if not most of her songs.  Hopefully it's just an affectation.

Agreed. I had to endure these guys at a double-bill with Hem. Her voice is incredibly affected.

Walking to New Orleans -> Jesus In New Orleans

I'm guessing that next up is Arlo Guthrie's City of New Orleans, but I'm *hoping* that instead it's Louis Armstrong's Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans?

I'm an atheist and I think those lyrics are stupid but I gave this song a 6 because of the singer's voice and the melody.

NOLA is the next logical stop.  By the way, these folks are great live in small venues serving adult beverages.

it is a very interesting song, i point out the excellent register of voice of Karin Bergquist, writter, vocalist and guitarist; unhappyly i do not make use of elements enough to make one correct appreciation with only a song:  in case that it is possible and it is center of your "program-of-the-party", to pass more songs of these artists please.

This sounds like a mix of Lucinda Williams, Pure Prairie League, and Floyd Cramer, which is not a bad thing. Come to think of it, why don’t we ever hear Pure Prairie League on this station? Is our DJ not cool?

This one gets an 8 for the opening line alone.

Cool. You just described 90% of country music. And about half of the Blues.

This sounds like Lucinda Williams only to the extent that both singers are women and have a southern (Ohio, in this case) inflection. Beyond that, I cannot see the source of possible confusion. Of the albums by Over the Rhine that I have, this is the most consistently fine. It's great travelling music, especially with a bit of a hempified buzz.

the drunken whore intonation don't doit no good.
While the "intonation" comment is a bit strong, I have to agree in principle. I saw these guys live (hey, I went there for the other band, Hem), and I thought they were awful. Her vocal styling bothered me the most.

Um, you do know this is an original composition by OtR and it was released in 2003, right? And that Gram Parsons died 30 years before that?


No, I didn't know this was an original OtR tune...but I did know that Gram, sadly, passed 30 years ago. Thanks for the info...that'll teach me to look things up myself before putting hand to keyboard. You gotta admit though this does have the same writing style as a GP tune.
