After more than 15 years making music, it’s obvious Ohio duo Over The Rhine is in it for the long haul, and for keeps. Their commitment is underscored by the opening track to their latest CD, “I Don’t Wanna Waste Your Time,” a manifesto of sorts for the artists recently named to Paste magazine’s list of 100 Best Living Songwriters. To call Over the Rhine’s followers “fanatical” would understate the point. Why? For starters, there’s Karin Bergquist’s torchy, devil-may-care voice, brimming with Midwestern soul, unafraid to lay bare every emotional resonance. And again, there’s the life-and-death commitment dripping from her every word. “I’m either into it or I’m not, because there’s no faking it with me,” Bergquist notes. “Life’s way too short for that.” Together with her husband, Linford Detweiler, the evocative, earthy songwriting and impassioned delivery celebrates American music in the most richly imaginative ways.
