New from Over the Rhine

It's great to order stuff over the web, sit back and wait for a week or so, and then that magic slip arrives in the letterbox asking you to head up to the post office and collect a package. You hand over the form and the assistant disappears out the back, coming back with...
The recent live CD Changes Come from Over the Rhine. Said to be recorded straight from the FOH desk on a gig in autumn 2003, I've stuck it in the player and it sounds good so far, apart from the heinous crime of apparently not using a grand piano for the song Ohio. Karin Bergquist has a fantastic voice. It's very tempting to jump ahead and listen to the last track Changes Come (a brilliant track on the 2003 studio release Ohio), but I'll discipline myself and work through the whole thing properly. I'd love to see these folks live someday.
Also in the post today, Kester Brewin's apparently contentious book The Complex Christ, which I look forward to adding to my list of `current' reading material.
