Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Over the Rhine hails from Ohio, which is not something that you will ever doubt again after listening to Meet Me at the Edge of the World. What does surprising is that this love letter to rural living comes from a band that took their name from a community which, at the time they were naming their band, was one of the most impoverished urban areas in the country.
Inspired by the purchase of a pre-Civil War cabin in the countryside by Karin Bergquist and husband Linford Detweiler “Meet Me at the Edge of the World” reunites the team behind 2011′s album, “The Long Surrender.” With Joe Henry back in the production chair the music moves like wisps of smoke around the beautiful lyrics. A wall of sound is created where even the faintest background noises sneak in to your mind and bring your senses to focus.

It’s safe to say that music brought Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist together. They were in a band before they were friends and friends before they became husband-and-wife. But from that first moment they performed together, there was a connection, one that’s grown stronger after two decades of touring and releasing albums through their band, Over the Rhine.

In 1989, Over the Rhine formed as a quartet: the soon-to-be husband and wife team Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist, guitarist Ric Hordinski and drummer Brian Kelley. The band has since dropped down to a duet (Detweiler/Bergquist) while releasing 12 albums over the last two decades, one of which nabbed the #25 on Paste's top 100 albums of 2007. Now, the band is gearing up to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a run of November and December concerts, including a two-night special event in the couple's hometown of Cincinnati.
