Review of OHIO from Performing Songwriter

"(Opening Scene: music critic shaking fist at editor, "You want me to
review this in how many words?!!?  You devil, you.")
A record of disarming beauty and stunning emotional focus.  Very rarely
does a band like this come down the pike and even more rarely do they
consistently top themselves.  Rarer still are songwriting teams like
Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquiat, who craft hushed, heart-rending
songs of love, faith, doubt and joy.  The 21 songs represented here are
set in an unpolished sonic setting and deeply layered with texture upon
texture of engaging instrumentation.

Then there's Bergquist - a singer unparalleled in her subtle twists of
emotion, her understated delivery and her springwater clear voice.  The
songs range from whispery piano/vocal outings to full-band drives and hit
every variation between. The combination of Bergquist's voice with superb
songwriting and tasteful playing makes this a highlight record of the
year." - Clay Steakley
