Description
Live from Nowhere: Volume Two is a live album by the American americana/folk music band Over the Rhine (the husband-and-wife duo of Linford Detweiler and Karin Berquist), independently released by the band in 2007.
Volume two of the band’s live recording series. Released in March 2007??
Over The Rhine have always managed some kind of record deal where they can release their own stuff between albums. In 2005 they came up with a great new tradition of releasing a live album of recordings from their by new annual Christmas tour. This is the second, and I personally can’t wait for volume 3 next March. Before all that, what about Vol 2? Well, three of their best songs in the last few years are here, «Long Lost Brother», «Jesus and New Orleans», and «I Want You To be My Love». Most notable here though are the rarities; the cover versions. Another version of «Fever» – this time a little less lazy and loungy than last year’s. I wonder if this song can reappear on every volume! «Failed Christian» sits uncomfortably, as Linford explains in his notes notes on the project. This is a song by Portstewart’s Henry McCullough, one time cohort of Beatle Paul McCartney. Detweiler’s notes on the album suggest some uncertainty about including a song that seems to go against the spiritual grain of Over the Rhine. It’s a slight incongruity is redeemed, however, in being followed by «Long Lost Brother» praying for Jesus to “carry us across this ocean into the arms of forgiveness.” Other rarities are John Prine’s «Everybody Wants To Feel Like You», Gillian Welch’s «Orphan Girl» formerly recorded by Emmylou Harris and Frank Loesser’s funned-up Christmas song «Baby It’s Cold Outside». Many of us never get the chance to experience the Over the Rhine Christmas festivities. This will do until that thrill should come. [Steve Stockman, The Phantom Tollbooth, 2007]
