My dad challenged his readers to join him in a series of “desert island” reviews – the most essential, can’t-live-without-‘em, albums in your collection. This is a personal list, not a best-of list. If I’m stuck on this island with other people who I would share music with, I might change my answers a bit. So, I don’t know how many of these posts I’ll do, but I’ll start today.
Over the
I remember waiting anxiously for my pre-ordered copy of this cd to arrive in the mail. When it finally came I was immediately in love – every song was stunning in its own way. It covers a range of content – from love songs (Lifelong Fling) to political statements (Remind Us) to songs that defy categorization (most of the rest of them). I have always loved Karin and Linford’s lyrics, and their music for that matter. And this album really showcases everything that I love about them.

Thanks for playing along, Bethany - this is going to be my Over the Rhine album too when I get to them in my list for many of the same reasons you state. This is a predictable choice for your first disc, I must say, having lived with you while you waited for the CD to arrive in the mail.
I don't have a lot of their stuff, but did find them thru Paste too...
Pick your three most favorite songs, and I'll buy them in iTunes.

Hi Dave. Where did you get Paste from? I was an OTR fan longer than Paste existed (though they are a great mag). Three songs??? ahh! I don't know. Somewhat arbitrarily "Professional Daydreamer", "We're Gonna Pull Through" and "Faithfully Dangerous"
