It's always great when you see one of your all-time favorites playing a Rickenbacker. While I know that happens daily to most of us here, I was pleasantly to surprised to find this clip of Karin Bergquist of Over The Rhine playing a Rickenbacker. Through their myriad incarnations the constants have been Lowden acoustics, Hammonds plugged into Selmer amps, Karin's soaring voice, and powerful songwriting.
Hard to believe this (first) clip was 18 years ago now! Wonder if she still has it. They just came out of the studio with Joe Henry serving as producer.
Any love for OTR here?

No. I use Skype for sending and receiving big files.

Re: Over The Rhine
Since they didn't bother to show the bass player at all on "Sea and Sky", does any one know what the bass player was using? Mark
Re: Over The Rhine
It's Linford on this Fender Jazz bass:
He tends to fancy small bass amps.
He was in Lexington with this Dano Longhorn though:
But he's been known to record with these too:

Thanks Bro for the tune up. Mark
Re: Over The Rhine
I can't believe anyone else knows Over The Rhine! I used to go see them at a bar/laudromat when they were just starting out.
Re: Over The Rhine
At Sudsy Malone's! I have an original hand-labeled cassette copy of 'Til We Have Faces'.
A fond, fond memory of my youth involves lying on the hood of my little Isuzu watching a summer meteor shower with OTR's 'Rhapsodie' playing on repeat in my Sony headset...

Re: Over The Rhine
Very cool stuff NCR....thanks for turning me on to these guys.
Re: Over The Rhine
I put a nice sampler together for you, John.
Re: Over The Rhine
Sudsy's was a geat bar! I also still have my cassette of 'til we have faces, probably the best album I've ever bought from a band in a bar. I haven't been to Clifton in years, does Sudsy's( or Jimmy D's, across the street)still exist?
Re: Over The Rhine
Sudsy's closed down for good in 2008 I think. 
And yikes, I need to send John his sampler!
