OVER THE RHINE

Rolling Stone recently described Over the Rhine as a band “with no sign of fatigue, whose moment has finally arrived.” That’s quite a sentiment for a musical couple marking 30 years of writing, recording and life on the road. “Love & Revelation” is the sound of two songwriters at the height of their powers. Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler and their Band of Sweethearts – Jay Bellerose, Jennifer Condos, Greg Leisz, Patrick Warren and Bradley Meinerding – have never sounded more vibrant. While each of the songs can feel like its own short film, the album nonetheless coalesces into a feature-length immersive experience. Dim the lights. May we all be surprised by what we find: a new and much-needed infusion of love and revelation.
