Over The Rhine :: "Don't Wait For Tom"


I may have spoken too soon when I declared Iron & Wine's The Shepherd's Dog as the cd of the year. Over The Rhine's new release The Trumpet Child is just as incredible and after several listens of each, MMB just doesn't have enough mojo to declare a clear cut "winner". But who cares...both CDs are insanely great. Over The Rhine's Child is a bit jazzier, happier and more fun than past releases. They are lyrical geniuses and continue to have one of the most underrated bodies of work in music today. Like Iron & Wine's Dog, OTR's Trumpet Child is a pure delight from beginning to end. By the end of the year, I might declare a winner but if you just want to hear some great, great music pick up both releases.

"Don't Wait for Tom" is just one example of OTR's Trumpets playfulness and diverseness.
