Released on April 1, 1991, by I.R.S. Records, Patience is the debut studio album from the Cincinnati-based folk-pop outfit Over the Rhine. Combining the ethereal vocals of Karin Bergquist with the intricate songwriting of Linford Detweiler, the album introduced the band's signature "Ohio River Valley" sound—a moody, literate blend of post-punk energy and acoustic intimacy. The record features standout tracks like the rhythmic "Jacksie" and the melancholic "Circle of Quiet," showcasing a range that shifts from swirling, atmospheric rock to quiet, piano-driven reflections. Produced at a time when the band was just beginning to cultivate their fiercely loyal following, Patience remains a foundational piece of their discography, capturing the raw, poetic ambition that would define their career for decades to come.
