For their third album, the Roches returned to the approach of their debut. Producer Robert Fripp helped to again place the focus on spare accompaniment. There's a warm sonic clarity that spotlights the intricacies of the three sisters' mingled voices. The set opens with an acappella rendition of "The Hallelujah Chorus," as the Roches set their humor aside until a few numbers in. The positively hypnotic second track, "Losing True," evokes gorgeous mystery in a manner similar to "Hammond Song" on their first release. They also cover two songs by other writers, George Gerdes' "Steady to the Maestro" and David Massengill's "On the Road to Fairfax County." "Want Not Want Not," which even here sounds like a show-stopper, remained a concert favorite for years. KEEP ON DOING and THE ROCHES remain the best introduction to this trio. The albums mix folk, doo-wop, Broadway musicals, Tin Pan Alley, pop-rock, and all-purpose hijinks in a manner that's totally honest and unique.

Keep On Doing album
 $10.69 
This 1995 release found the Roches on a new label. They took the opportunity to deliver one of the finest albums of their career, one filled with songs that evoke a world-weariness. The spare accompaniment the Roches receive here is what has always served them best. All three sisters contributed individually penned songs, and all come through with some magic. Maggie's title song and Suzzy's "Home Away From Home" both touch on themes of home and belonging, while Terre's "Christlike" tempers the proceedings with an eloquently disenfranchised bit of romantic cynicism. While they've explored these subjects before, on CAN WE GO ...

MULE VARIATIONS won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Hold On" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance.
Since 1993's BLACK RIDER album consisted of music written by Waits and William Burroughs to accompany a Robert Wilson play, hard-liners consider '92's BONE MACHINE to be the last "official" Waits album before the seven-year wait that ended with the release of MULE VARIATIONS. Unsurprisingly, Waits lives up to the expectations engendered by that lengthy wait. In fact, there are more stylistic threads connecting MULE VARIATIONS to BONE MACHINE than to BLACK RIDER.
The chugging rock drive of the opener "Big in Japan" (featuring Primus) recalls "Goin' Out West." ...

Steely Dan holds the title as one of the most quietly subversive pop bands of the 20th century. They managed--on their first two albums and, especially, on PRETZEL LOGIC--to combine breezy, ear-pleasing accessibility with an immensely sophisticated sensibility that upended most pop conventions. On PRETZEL LOGIC that combination is perfected, even as band masterminds Donald Fagen and Walter ...

Keep On Doing album
$13.25
Here comes cult hero Graham Bonnet, this time with new age axe-god Chris Impellitteri. Given Bonnet's history in Rainbow, MSG, and Alcatrazz, the supreme screamer is no doubt used to standing behind fretboard fireworks. But the best moments on Stand in Line occur when the man with the iron lungs steps up to the mike: the title track is a searing shot straight out of the Bonnet canon, the sweaty "Secret Lover" sends lyrics and guitar spiraling heavenward until an all-too-abrupt fade, "Tonight I Fly" features a cascading chorus of Hollywood heartbreak that only great Bonnet could deliver, and the James Dean metal of "Goodnight and Goodbye" makes for a wild ride. On the downside slides one of too many versions of "Since You've Been Gone," the Russ Ballard winner which Bonnet got right the first time (he also drops a nod to "Lost in Hollywood," a different dazzler from Rainbow's dynamite Down to Earth). Obviously, Impellitteri's running the show, but he almost runs the record into the ground with two excessive and useless instrumentals; the dilute update of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is unnecessary and ...
