RE: the future of OTR...
Personally, I originally had SOME concern during what I'll call the
"inbetween stage" while Otr was recovering from the loss of Ric and
then Brian -- not that the band wasn't good, occasionally I saw
INCREDIBLE sparks of potential, but things seems to be stagnant for
some time -- hearing the same songs over and over while KNOWING that
they were writing a TON of new material yet rarely ever hearing it.
That started to worry me. But no more. After hearing the quality of
the last 2 MP3's (this month's "remix", and last month's harmonica
solo version of Toledo), the studio version of "Goodbye" from the
ROARING LAMBS comp., and catching their PHENOMINAL set at Cornerstone
this Summer, I have no doubts. Over the Rhine is back and with a
vengeance -- I saw the potential there, but now to see it beginning
to be realized excites me. And yeah -- I think this next record
could explode, from the hints here and there I've heard of it, and
I'm definitely excited. Let them get popular -- yet again I'll be
able to say to all my friends "I told you so" (which happens fairly
frequently as bands I've always loved become HUGE).
really excited,
