At last some more exceptional xmas inspired and beautiful tracks to hear alongside Joni Mitchell's 'The River' and Chrissie Hyndes '2000 miles'.
'Snow Angels' is a delightful recording that gets better the more it is played. If you have a problem listening to the repetitive dross that is to be found assaulting your ears just about everywhere you venture from November onward then try this one - it can really improve your Christmas! Like all 'Over the Rhine' offerings this is splendid from a truly gifted couple of singer songwriters.

4.5 Stars.... Long awaited second Christmas album from OtR is worth the wait
19 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
In 1996, Over the Rhine released a Christmas album called "The Darkest Night of the Year" that consisted mostly of originals and a few reworked Christmas traditionals, and the album was an immediate 'hit' with OtR fans. The album was a strong reason for the very successful annual Christmas tour the band continues to make to this day, and over the years the band introduced several Christmas originals at those shows, prompting the question "when can we expect a new collection of Christmas songs?". Well, that question has finally been answered.
"Snow Angels" (12 tracks; 43 min.) starts off with one those concert classics, "All I Ever Get for Christmas Is Blue", a fabulous song and it's nice to finally get the studio version. "Darling (Christmas Is Coming") and "White Horse" are in the same vein (also also concert staples). "Goodbye Charles" is a piano-jazzy instrumental. "Snowed In With You" is a prime example of why this album works s well: a light, jazzy tone, with an irresistable winter/Christmas undertone. This album contains nothing but originals, and works terrific from start to finish. How many contemporary artists can bring a Christmas album without any covers, and actually pull it off? Well OtR has on "Snow Angels". Karin Bergquist's lead vocals sounds as warm as ever, and the perfect voice for a Christmas album as you settle in for the night in front of the open fire.
In all, "Snow Angels" is a terrific, if long delayed, follow-up to "The Darkest Night of the Year", and in fact may even have topped it. Please note that the band actually self-released this album in November, 2006, and now this is getting a much-deserved national release. This year's OtR traditional homecoming Christmas show at the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati is set for December 15, and you can bet that I will be there, as I have been for many years. I just hope it won't take another 10 years before OtR releases another Christmas album (although the band has hinted that might exactly be the case). This album is highly recommended. BUY IT! You won't be disappointed.

Christmas Winner
27 Oct 2007
Format:Audio CD
I've never written a review but Amazon emailed me with the opportunity and this is a terrific cd, so here goes. I'm a Christmas Rock nut, have made several Christmas mixes (120 minutes each), and have everything from Stevie Nix's "Silent Night" to Mary Karlzen's "Run Rudolph Run" to Wall of Voodoo's "Shouldn't Have Given Him a Gun for Christmas", etc. While it's crazy to call anything the best, this may well be the best individual artist Christmas cd made. I've been a kinda-fan of Over the Rhine for a long time, and "All I Need is Everything" is one of my favorite songs. But this Christmas CD is spectacular, especially considering the album is nearly all original songs. The rare covers ("Little Town" and "One Olive Jingle) and are remade with clever and unique arrangements. The CD is rock, blues and a pinch of jazz, and offers a fine variety of songs, all the way from the splendid "All I ever get for Christmas is Blue" to the pop, catchy and fun "Darlin' (Christmas is Coming)" to the sad and wistful title track. I highly recommend Snow Angels.

Beautifully Haunting
19 Nov 2007
Format:Audio CD
I rarely enjoy Christmas albums, but this is one I'm going to treasure for a long time to come. The first two tracks are probably my favorite, especially the more upbeat "Darlin' (Christmas Is Coming)". This entire album invokes feelings of sitting by the window with hot cider and watching the snow fall as there's a fire crackling somewhere behind you. Waiting, waiting for your love to come home. I definitely recommend this album to anyone who enjoys good music, and I guess to anyone who enjoys Christmas music as well, haha. I'll still be listening to this come June and July though.
