People talkin', keep on walkin'... Lucinda Williams

Hello again,

This is humbling and hard to write but necessary.

We've been having the most amazing tour musically this year and we extend our 
deepest gratitude to all of you who joined us at the concerts in the past 
five weeks or more. The people we are touring with inspired us deeply, worked 
hard and played their hearts out every night. Our thanks to Will, Paul, Rick, 
Spinner and Hunter: we hope to reunite with you all soon.

We have postponed the rest of the dates for this year's Over the Rhine tour 
indefinitely for personal and family reasons. There are two trees in our lives 
(we do choose our record covers carefully): one is our music and one is our 
marriage. Sometimes we water one or the other, hopefully both. 

We've poured our hearts and our souls into our music this year, and we've 
seen that tree bear a lot of fruit and flourish. But we've increasingly realized 
that there has been very little room left over for anything else including our 
relationship and marriage. As difficult a decision as it is, we've decided we 
must go home to do some much needed caretaking and work to preserve this part 
of our lives.

We aplogize for the timing and to those of you who made plans to see us in 
the coming weeks. We're human beings and we're all broken and sometimes our 
lives get way out of balance. Knowing this is an amazing place to start. Please 
keep us in your prayers and again, we hope to see you soon when the time is 
right. 

We really love what we do, but we're not willing to sacrifice our 
relationship and marriage on the altar of a career. We think you'll agree when we see you 
again that our music is more alive than ever.

Best,

Linford and Karin
