[OTR Announce] The Latest from Over the Rhine

[Announcement list for the band Over The Rhine]

Just a quick hello and the latest from Over the Rhine:

The limited edition Over the Rhine CD (LIVE from Nowhere, Volume One) is 
mixed and mastered. We feel like this little collection of concert recordings far 
exceeded our expectations. We're quite sure you'll be tickled at what we were 
able to bottle. Sonically, it sounds as good as anything we've ever sent out 
into this world. And it contains generous swigs of previously unreleased 
material…

Releasing a limited edition collection of concert highlights at the end of 
each year is a new tradition we want to establish. We think LIVE from Nowhere, 
Volume One is going to be a tough collection to beat with future volumes, but 
we're up for the challenge, and when you hear the hoopla y'all make from time 
to time, we think you'll understand.

We're still finishing up artwork and notes, and then it's off to the 
manufacturer and then Karin and I will sign and number 3000 copies by hand out here at 
the farm. When they're gone, they're gone. Collectors' items are us. So we're 
getting there, and we'll keep you posted. (When you hear this collection we 
think you'll be glad we took the time to get it right.)

Here is the track listing:

1.     Faithfully Dangerous
2.     Spark
3.     Born
4.     Lookin' Forward
5.     Drunkard's Prayer
6.     White Horse
7.     Etcetera Whatever
8.     Fever
9.     Son of a Preacher Man
10.     Moondance
11.     My Love is a Fever
12.     Paper Moon
            (and a hidden track - from Sunday at St. Elizabeth's, just a 
taste...)

We'll post some MP3's soon at overtherhine.com and pastemusic.com to give you 
a little shot glass worth of what's to come.

There were some technical difficulties with our recording of The Taft this 
year, but we included a handful of recordings from The Taft concert in 2004 
(just prior to the release of Drunkard's Prayer). The result is a well-rounded 
document of this chapter in the band's history. We feel like it all worked out. 
Whew!

You can still order a copy of Over the Rhine's LIVE from Nowhere Volume One 
at overtherhine.com. And we're extending our CD sale of the rest of the catalog 
until we get these all mailed out. Check out the lowered prices at 
overtherhine.com if you need to plunge your arms up to the elbows in Over the Rhine's 
music. You get the point.

Finally, it's February, and it's great weather to get in the car and find a 
change of scenery. Put it in drive and take a spiritual journey. Leave behind 
your care and your worry.

Here's the crumpled road map:

You can kick back, daydream, scribble in your sketchbook and hear yours truly 
play the piano, read poems, and reconstruct stories from the past:

Another great opportunity to pick up a new hat at the shop next door: You 
look to be about a 7 & 1/4…
