best albums of 2007: 24. over the rhine

24. Over The Rhine - The Trumpet Child
Like #20, this is sometimes frightfully MOR, Adult Contemporary, or even – the horror! – Starbucksy. Still, if merely being jazzy – yes, Jazzy-jazzy –, having a really good female singer, and being accomplished musically would prevent me from embracing luscious and hip-wiggling tracks like “Trouble” or glowing almost-hymns like the album’s classy title track, then I’ll gladly embrace the Michael Bublés of this world and buy another latte.
