Up to #3

Recap of the Top 10 (so far)…

4.  Home – Dixie Chicks

5.  Glo – Delirious?

6.  All That You Can’t Leave Behind – U2

7.  All Right Here – Sara Groves

8.  The Beautiful Letdown – Switchfoot

9.  Remedy – David Crowder Band

3.  Ohio – Over the Rhine

 

This prolific band – the husband & wife duo of Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist – crafted their magnum opus with this 2003 double-album named after their home state (the band name itself is taken from a neighborhood in their hometown of Cincinnati).

 

The Phantom Tollbooth review in that first link above captures it all pretty well.  This is one to just put on and let it run through, with one great song after another.  Just absolutely beautiful music.  A work of art.

 

My favorite tracks are: 

·       Ohio (title track)

·       Lifelong Fling

·       B.F.D

·       How Long Have You Been Stoned?
