Have you heard the Over The Rhine "Ohio" LP from a couple years ago? Beautiful 2-disc (or 2-LP gatefold) set released in 2003 that's kind of sectioned into acoustic and electric parts. Karin Bergquist has a wonderfully expressive voice and you won't find music and lyrics much more compelling. Think maybe something along the lines of Fleetwood Mac meets Gram Parsons (or maybe Whiskeytown covering Gram Parsons, as on the great tribute album that Emmylou Harris supervised). The lush sound is a little reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies or Blue Rodeo. Kind of like a modern day Tusk, as Matt Cibula intimated in his eloquent PopMatters review. Maybe not quite as pop oriented, nor as dreamy and hedonistic either. Kind of spiritual. Nicely recorded by Paul Mahern at Echo Park in Bloomington, Indiana on 2" analog tape.
