Let's Spend the Day in Bed

john_yoko10.jpg Two exciting events are afoot in the world of music, at least the kind I listen to. The first is that the John Lennon catalog is now available on iTunes. Hurrah! Upon learning this fact, I immediately downloaded Well, Well, Well, but so many favorites await my mouse click...

The second is that Over the Rhine (OTR) is soon to release their latest record, The Trumpet Child. One local station has already played a tune or two from the forthcoming album on the air. OTR produces the kind of songs I sing with my eyes closed (sometimes while driving...I can't help it!). I've heard their style described as alt country and dreamy roots, but they also infuse jazz, rock, spiritual and all manner of sass and sweetness into their melodies. Take a listen here. I highly recommend Trouble and Let's Spend the Day in Bed for a little grown-up romance...
