Best of the 90's
14 Feb 2002
Format:Audio CD
I'm amazed no one else has reviewed this great cd. It's quite well known, at least in musicians circles. I first heard this disc about three years ago and I immediately found much to love about it. OTR is a compulsively independant band-so much so that they released some of their earlier discs without any cover/liner note inserts at all-you just get the disc and the back tray card (I'm assuming that is why there is no 'cover' art here). When the music is this good, who cares about anything else!? Their music is also a bit tricky to categorize. It runs the gamut from hard rockers ("Within, without" & "Daddy untwisted") to gorgeous blues ("My love is a fever") to acoustic folk/pop ("Melancholy room" & "June" which sounds a lot like something Pink Floyd would have written 25 years ago...)
Essential.

The Best Studio Album of OTR
8 May 2002
Format:Audio CD
If Over The Rhine had ever hopes of hitting it big, it was with "Eve', their third studio album, issued in 1994. Remember, this was the time "alternative" rock was ruling the nation, and with this album, OTR rode the alternative wave (while staying true to its own ingenious roots). The original line-up (Karen, Linford, Ric and Brian) had been playing together for 5 years by now, and really hit all cylinders on this one.
The opener "Happy With Myself" was the radio-friendly track and hoped for "mass" exposure track. Great tunes follow one after another, including among others "Within Without", "Conjectures" (with Ric's awesome guitar licks), "Sleep Baby Jane" (still a concert fave after all these years), "Daddy Untwisted", the bluesy "My Love Is A Fever". Wow... what a collection! OTR was never better.
On the (literal) "eve" of the album's release in August 1994, OTR gave a free concert at Cincinnati's Eden Park. I remember Karen urging everyone the go out and buy the album in the first week of release, in the hope of getting on the Billboard 200 chart. The hoped-for mass success didn't materialize, for whatever reason, but no matter. This is OTR's best studio album, period. "Films For Radio" comes close, but not quite. This is OTR in their classic line-up at their best. BUY IT!

find this CD if only for sleep baby jane
3 Jun 2003
Format:Audio CD
there are a few songs in this lifetime that just grab you the first time you hear them and then somehow their inpactfulness never seems to decline. sleep baby jane is one of those precious few songs. while over the rhine are a good group and eve is a strong offering, it is this song alone that merrits attention above most other albums.
