History
Formed in the spring of 1989, at a time when Detweiler, Hordinski, and Kelley were also touring as part of the final incarnation of Servant, Over the Rhine released independently their first album, Till We Have Faces, in 1991 (named for the C. S. Lewis book of the same title). Paste Magazine granted one of its first five-star reviews to Over the Rhine's 2003 double album Ohio, released on Virgin Records' Back Porch Records label. Over the Rhine's next album, Drunkard's Prayer, was released on March 29, 2005.
A limited edition live album titled Live From Nowhere, Volume 1 was released in April 2006. A second limited edition live album, Live From Nowhere, Volume 2 was released in March 2007, just over a month from Discount Fireworks. The Trumpet Child and the "Live From Nowhere" series have been released on their own independent label, Great Speckled Dog (named after their Great dane, Elroy).
Linford has also recorded and released three solo projects composed of home-recorded acoustic, piano-based music.
In January 2008, Paste Magazine's video podcast interviewed Over the Rhine and featured a live performance (link).
