Over the Hills is the sixth solo album by New York singer–songwriter Lucy Kaplansky, released in 2007.[5] The album contains a mix of covers and original songs written with her husband, Rick Litvin.

The album is dedicated to the memories of the artist's father, Irving Kaplansky, and Red House Records founder, Bob Feldman. Several of the songs acknowledge the "gifts" that Kaplansky has received from these men.

Over the Hills topped the Folk Radio Airplay Chart in March 2007.[6]
