5.0 out of 5 stars Making sad people happy and vice versa..., February 3, 2004

By	Seth C. Gardner (Monroeville, PA USA) - See all my reviews

Throughout the last twelve years, OTR have continued to be the best kept secret in independent music. On this, their second album, the chemistry between Linford Detweiler's songwriting and his wife Karin Bergquist's sultry vocals results in one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have come cross. My congrats to you if you can come across a copy of this album complete with liner notes. If you have one, consider yourself one of the lucky few. From the opening track "Jacksie" to the closing "Grey Monologue", OTR establish themselves as artists full of life and hope, offering an album that exemplifies all that God created music to be. Listening to the album from start to finish evokes a palette of emotions able to stir the spirit of any one who ever thought of themselves as a dreamer. If ever there was an album to listen to at home on a cold rainy day with a hot cup of tea curled up on the couch with the woman of your dreams, it is Patience by Over The Rhine.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite alt-pop cd by my favorite folky-rock band..., February 3, 2007

By	Shannon L. Lewis - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love Over the Rhine...
I saw them play live a few days before PATIENCE was released, so they played much of the album, and I wasn't even able to clap for most of the show - I (a metal musician at time), just sat and gawked in awe of what I was seeing & hearing...what I had always attempted to convey with bombast and showmanship, they humbly succeeded in conveying with incredible subtlety, gentleness, and beauty. I was a changed man.
Honestly, I love ever track on the c.d.
Over the Rhine has released a lot of beautiful music (try "Good Dog, Bad Dog" & "Drunkard's Prayer", for starters), but I will never quite get past how "Patience" changed my life.
I hope they continue to make music for many years to come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good though not their best work, May 25, 2009

Over The Rhine is a band that crosses many boundaries. They are Americana mixed with bar room jazz and a bit of country while having a splash of Louisiana sultry. This is one of their earlier efforts and while worth of purchase as part of a collection, would best be passed over in favor of Eve, Amateur Shortwave Radio, or Besides if you are looking for a sampling of their early years. Their early years featured Ric Hordinski on guitar who, for those who do not know of him, is quite accomplished. Their early sound has a wonderful blend of guitar, synth, excellent writing, and of course, the angelic voice of Karin Bergquist. This is a band I would recommend to anyone with refined musical taste. This is not a garage band. This is a professional group of musicians trying to make the music that only they could put together.
