...Welch way back in January, several folks mentioned that Over the Rhine covers Orphan Girl live in concert.

...Welch covered in such dulcet tones, and with such lush orchestration. But like the seeds that will sprout from her business card, this is music that truly grows on you. It says something that I've continued to listen to these CDs long after I first sampled them. There's a warm, celebratory tone in Robertson's voice, and a genuine love of the...
