Praise for The Trumpet Child:
Thanks to the listeners of 89.7 fm, WNKU, for voting The Trumpet Child their 1 CD of 2007. See WNKU'S website (wnku.org) for the complete 2007 countdown.
“this album amounts to a shout of joy…inspired by cabaret singers from a bygone era, the desperate good-time mythology of New Orleans' spirit, and a suave decadent intelligence" -All Music Guide, Aug 2007
“These eleven songs are swanky, jazzy, and generally calibrated to conjure a pre-1950s late night, cocktail-swilling feel, without sacrificing nuances of lyric. It's a paean to enduring American songcraft.” - No Depression, Sep/Oct 2007
"Over the Rhine has always had a deep affinity for all American musical styles and with The Trumpet Child's expansive, simple and exquisite arrangements and top-of-their-game songwriting, they prove that they are not merely interpreters of the great American songbook but a fascinating chapter unto themselves." - CityBeat, Aug 2007
“The band interweaves seemingly incongruous stylistic threads, evoking its many influences. From the Stephen Foster-style overtones of “I Don't Wanna Waste Your Time” to the spare, Tom Waits-ish plunk of “Nothing Is Innocent. A wonderfully concise American music sampler. (Four Stars)” - PASTE, Sep 2007
“11 new originals that earmark some of the most interesting eras of the American songbook -- Over the Rhine blends them into a sound all their own.” - Mother Jones, Sep/Oct 2007
