Music reviews of Drunkard's Prayer
Music Review: Soulful and stirring
Rating: 5 Stars
This music surprised me with its soul and sound. My friend saw the band in concert and told me how they talked about coming to the table with a bottle of wine and two glasses and working out some things in their marriage and working out this album. Now maybe that is not exactly the story, but it was a great story and i bought the CD. Every time I play the music....at parties, in the background, in class...people always stop mid-sentence and say, Who is singing? GET THIS CD. AT LEAST ONE COPY. It is one of those CDs you can give to a friend and be certain they love it.
Description of Drunkard's Prayer
Stunning New Album from Over the Rhine, Produced by Linford Detweiler, Karin Bergquist and Mahan Kalpa. Features the New Single 'i Want You to Be My Love'.After the heavily produced Films for Radio and the sprawling double CD Ohio, Over the Rhine retrenches for this stunning follow-up. Recorded in the living room of the duo's home, the low-key glow that results brings the music even closer to its source. Bits of folk, jazz, pop, and country intermingle as the singing and songwriting husband-and-wife partnership of Karin Bergquist and Linford Detweiler let the sparkling, yet subtle melodies of these ten originals--plus a lovely cover of "My Funny Valentine"--dictate the sparse instrumentation and languid but never haphazard tempos.
This is music of delicate beauty, tinged with regret, sadness, and hope, yet devoid of pretense. It sounds like these songs fell out of the sky, drifting through the clouds and arriving with help from Bergquist's exquisite voice. Her double-tracked vocals dart through tinkling piano lines on "Born," making the already exquisite song shimmer. Stand-up bass and occasional cello and sax along with a dash of percussion bolster these chamber-styled ballads that float like lilies on a pond. But there's a flickering intensity to like "Firefly," in which Bergquist repeats "My memory will not fail me now," that adds an edgy tautness to this emotionally stirring album. --Hal Horowitz
