 Suzzy Roche at the Berkshire Museum, May 16, 1998
Roche handled the transformation with varying degrees of success throughout her performance before a small but enthusiastic crowd at the museum.
Roche undoubtedly hears the relations in her head, and a listener familiar with the recorded versions of songs like "The Second Coming of Eli" or the Roches' "Home Away From Home" could do likewise.
Roche's guitar work was as deft as her low-key showmanship, and she is such a good storyteller that she might want to investigate further that aspect of her talent.

 Prayer CD
The Roches, a popular folk rock group, have taken a break from their normal music production and released their most unorthodox CD yet: a collection of people's personal prayers that the Roche sisters sing accompanied by music.
In listening to their stories, Roche said each individual prayer had a unique sound of their own, and setting them to music was a process of letting each individual prayer speak for itself.
Roche says her original intention was to create an album in which others provided all the material for the project.

 FEMMUSIC.com  CD Reviews
Roche’s voice is gentle, but it tackles the soft jazz of "Out of the Blue" and the bluegrass feel to "When Love Comes to Town" and Jules Shear’s composition, "Cold Hard Wind," the latter featuring both Loudon Wainwright and Shear himself on backing vocals.
Roche varies her style from pop-style singer-songwriter to light jazz and bluegrass with everything from dobros to organs backing up her acoustic guitar, but the instruments never are overwhelming.
The CD booklet’s cover, featuring Roche looking as if her dog is walking her instead of the other way around, is a little deceptive.

 Michael Gizzi, Suzzy Roche, Ladies Auxiliary Ukulele Orchestra by Seth Rogovoy
What is perhaps most striking about Suzzy Roche's new, debut solo album, "Holy Smokes" (Red House), is how serious it is. The youngest of the three singing sisters known as the Roches, Suzzy Roche always seemed to be the silliest sister.
It bears passing resemblance to efforts by the Roches, it focuses on issues of family life, and sister Maggie is on hand to help out, but "Holy Smokes" is Suzzy's determined debut as a solo voice.

The Roches are simply too clever, too eccentric, too bohemian, and too damn good to reach the MTV generation who need whistles, bells, nose piercings and go-go girls to maintain their attention span.
For Roche fans: even without Terre (where is she??), there are the familiar tightly arranged and etheral harmonies that we have loved throughout the years.

 SoundStage! Suzzy Roche - Songs from an Unmarried Housewife and Mother, Greenwich Village, USA
Being up-tempo, as opposed to slow, and emphasizing rhythm, as opposed to relying on melody and letting rhythm go by the wayside, are obviously not the only useful criteria for evaluating a song, but those qualities have a lot to do with my singling out those two songs for praise in this CD.
I say "self-indulgent" because ultimately, I think, the songs on this CD only go partway toward transcending the merely personal, even though they are pleasantly arranged and not at all difficult to listen to.
There are those, of course, who love The Roches, and Maggie and Lucy Roche perform as special guests on this album.

 City Pages - Symphony of a City
The resulting sparseness gives the music an intimacy that Roche makes the most of, kicking off her new album with an all-American, childlike reverie--one foisted upon most of us when we were kids--as if to deliberately begin at the beginning.
On the new album, the paternal influence is expressed more subtly: Just as her father did in his profession, Roche approaches language as a malleable, material object--fit to be manipulated, true, but also to be enjoyed and savored like any possession.
What makes Roche's homey song cycle so relevant to the here and now is this: In an age when urban design is a code for the construction of glittery tourist traps, this music lets you imagine cities--and New York City in particular--as actual places where people live, eat, fall in love, and do laundry.

 FAME Review: Suzzy Roche - Songs from an Unmarried Housewife and Mother, Greenwich Village, USA
This is a marvelous CD with all the elements of folk/pop we've come to expect from Suzzy Roche.
As a member of the Roche Sisters (not defunct, but currently on hiatus), she delivered quirky harmonies that were always dead on, and she does so here, sometimes with sister Maggie or daughter Lucy.
Part of what makes Suzzy Roche so endearing is her use of the familiar to touch the universal.

 The Roches
The Roches are a trio of singing sisters, namely Maggie, Terre, and Suzzy Roche.
The Roches blend influences from church choir music, traditional Irish folk, contemporary folk, rock, country, and pop with their own innate musical sensibilities to produce what can only be called Roche music.
Each of the sisters has her own distinct musical talents which can be appreciated in their own rights, but they can also blend their voices together into a single instrument of awesome harmonic beauty.

As one would expect, the harmonies and lyrics are as exquisite as they are thought-provoking and make manifest why these women are some of the finest writers and singers working today.
Suzzy and Maggie are like fine wines.........they just get better with age.
Standouts for me include "The Warwick Flag," "Don't be Afraid," and "La Vie C'est La Vie." Having seen the Roche's in concert many times, I noticed that I didn't really miss the presence of Terri, her high voice becoming strained and thin of late.

At first glance, the cover art of Suzzy and Maggie Roche's Zero Church is innocuously pleasant, a brilliantly colored bird soaring over parched hills against a backdrop of fleecy clouds.
Not unlike the Roche sisters' work over the last few decades, Zero Church defies easy categorization and certainly seems likely to avoid mass-market success.
On the other hand, they probably said that about the "O Brother" soundtrack, too, and if that blockbuster has whetted your appetite for excellent music coming from deep in the human soul, look no further.
