The newest Over the Rhine album, called The Trumpet Child, is currently streaming free of charge over at AOL Music.
If you haven't heard Over the Rhine yet, you're in for a treat. I have been a fan since college, when an ex introduced me to the husband-and-wife duo out of Ohio. I immediately loved them on the strength of Karin Bergquist's voice alone - lusty, full, and charming. The fact that they write consistently likeable songs as well is just icing on the cake.
Their style is an eclectic mix of pop, jazz, blues, Americana and cabaret. The first song on the new album sounds like a lost Tom Waits track - in fact, most of the album has a sort of Waits-ian appeal to it.
If you like what you hear, check out their MySpace page for a tour schedule, their official Web site and then have fun combing through their extensive discography.
