Album Notes The Roches: Terre Roche, Suzzy Roche (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Maggie Roche (vocals, keyboards, percussion). Additional personnel: Michael Riesman (various instruments); Victor Lesser (saxophone); Paul Ossola (bass); Vince Cherico (drums, programming, percussion, background vocals); Lucy Roche, Jeannine Schmeltzkopf, Dara Schlatt, Lucy Lesser, Kelsey Lesser, Jeffrey Lesser, David Roche (background vocals). Recorded at RPM Studios, New York City. This sterling set of two-dozen Christmas songs grew out a tradition that the Roches had of performing Christmas music annually in the group's native New York City. The sisters set aside their endearing quirkiness to sing these songs with reverence, but at the same manage to bring their novel arrangement style into play. The Roches' harmonies drift in and out of these compositions with beauty and glee. Spare accompaniment is given to the singing, with a keyboard here, a guitar there, and other little flourishes. A handful of numbers are presented acapella, something that Roches fans have enjoyed since the trio's debut. WE THREE KNGS is a timeless classic.
Editorial Reviews 3 Stars - Good - ...Every Christmas The Roches take to the streets of New York as part of a charity carolling group and this album is a celebration of that spirit as much as the event itself. Q (01/01/1991)
