Free Music Notes for MoonsweptFree Music Review: So glad they're back! Hit: 4 StarsAll of the wonderful quirky lyrics and harmonies of the sisterly variety! And I haven't heard the Naughty Lady of Shady Lane in a lifetime! Can't stop listening to it!
Free Music Review: Swept Away By Moonswept Hit: 5 StarsWith a welcome return to warm instrumentation, poignant and wizened songwriting, producer Stewart Lerman's most subtle and tasteful mix ever, bits of Paranoid Larry's mania, a daughter's precious cameo, and those incomparable harmonies..."Moonswept" is a gem. Your head will tell you that it's a milestone for the Roches, but your heart will tell you it's a gift for us.
Free Music Review: So Glad They Are Back!!! Hit: 5 StarsMoonswept is a magnificent step forward and backward and perfect. Any former fan of the ladies is sure to enjoy this as much as their very first release and those that followed. However, this is the first Roches recording since the first one that may be heard by a first time Roches listener and be appreciated from the beginning to end. I am so glad to have the three of them together again. Their solo and duo recordings are all good---but none are as significantly elegant as this--their first together in many years. Long live the threesome--may they record again and again. I'll be there to listen and appreciate. Starting the Moonswept epic with "Us Little Kids" is genius. First time listeners will be hooked by the pathos of the lyrics and the beauty of their combined voices and be open to the rest of the songs. Come on people---buy this---buy it now---you'll thank me--thank yourself and become an honorary Roche at the same time. Join the family and enjoy!!!
Free Music Review: A better choice Hit: 4 StarsI'm really glad the Roches are back. But I question their choice of "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane". The song is full of sexual innuendo and only at the end does one learn that the "naughty lady" is an infant, and all the innuendos are double entendres. This may have been innocent fun in postwar America, but it seems ugly and in bad taste in the age of JonBenet Ramsey and countless other sexually exploited babies and children.
Free Music Review: Disarmingly Pure... Hit: 5 StarsAn essential Roches record. Easily their best effort since "Speak." Gone are the synthesizers and session players. Here the sisters shine vocally, lyrically and musically. The mark of a classic recording is the one that grows on you upon repeated playings. Moonswept does this in spades. Welcome back sisters!
