Runs In The Family: The Warner Bros / Rykodisc Albums [Import] on CD

First-ever box set dedicated to genre-bending folk-rock trio The Roches! Bringing together newly-mastered editions of The Roches' beloved albums for the Warner Bros. And Rykodisc labels plus two rare bonus tracks. Featuring albums produced by Robert Fripp (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) and Roy Halee (Simon and Garfunkel, Laura Nyro). The world first heard the voices of Maggie and Terre Roche on Paul Simon's 'There Goes Rhymin' Simon'. With youngest sister Suzzy, The Roches soon carved out a remarkable career of their own. Between 1979 and 2007, Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy pushed the boundaries of so-called 'folk music'. The songs of The Roches were personal, funny, heartbreaking, vulnerable, witty, sad, joyful, and utterly original as the sisters bared their hearts and souls in striking harmony. This 3CD collection brings together their debut 'The Roches' (1979) produced by Robert Fripp; 'Nurds' (1980) produced by Roy Halee; 'Keep On Doing', also with Fripp (1982); 'Another World' (1985) with productions by Richard Gottehrer, Ed Kalehoff, and others; and 'Can We Go Home Now' (1995), helmed by the group and Stewart Lerman. The Roches' albums remain timeless, moving, and surprising. Key tracks include 'Hammond Song,' 'Mr. Sellack,' 'The Married Men,' 'This Feminine Position,' 'Runs in the Family,' The Roches' stunning arrangement of 'The Hallelujah Chorus,' and their delightful cover of The Fleetwoods' 'Come Softly To Me' as heard in the film Crossing Delancey. The set also includes two rare bonus tracks; the never-before-on-CD Robert Fripp-produced non-LP single 'Second Family' and a radio performance of 'My Winter Coat'. Nick Robbins has remastered the audio. The deluxe booklet contains rare and previously unpublished photos plus unique, community-based track-by-track sleevenotes contributed by The Roches' fans and friends (including Linda Ronstadt, Christopher Guest, Robert Fripp, and Linda Thompson) as well as Terre Roche herself.
