    On the Record: A Roches Box Set, plus Eli ‘Paperboy’ Reed, Thee Sinseers, and J.M. Kearns (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Maggie, Suzzy, and Terre Roche, three sisters from northern New Jersey, sang like angels on the albums they made together, with astonishingly close harmonies and imaginative phrasing. Though rooted in folk, their music owes debts to everything from jazz and barbershop quartets to 1940s vocal groups and punk. Their lyrics, which often chronicle events from their own lives, offer compelling, at times hilarious, commentary on career struggles, boyfriends, and more. You’ll find evidence of all the R

    On the Record: New Concert Albums Feature the Grateful Dead in 1966 and Elliott Murphy in 2026 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Want to hear how the Grateful Dead sounded in concert before its members conquered the world? If so, your best bet is July 3, 1966, Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA, which was released on the 60th anniversary of the event. The album preserves a show from only about a year after the group (then called the Warlocks) played its first gig at a pizza parlor. The Dead had yet to secure a record contract and was still six months away from making its first album. Until now, the only way to hear th

    On the Record: A 5th Dimension Box Set Delivers Hits and Hidden Treasures, plus David Box, Louis Jordan, and the Stanley Brothers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The 5th Dimension’s original lineup has been compared to the Mamas and the Papas, whose songs it occasionally covered. Both were vocal groups, both featured male and female singers, both achieved major commercial success, and their heydays overlapped. But important differences explain why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the Mamas and the Papas in 1998 while the 5th Dimension (whose founding lineup lasted until 1975) has never even been nominated. The Mamas and the Papas had strong counte

    On the Record: Who the Heck Is Cliff Richard? Ask a Brit (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Two weeks ago, this column discussed singer Joe Brown, who is virtually unknown in the U.S. but has some fans in England, where several of his songs charted in the 1960s. Cliff Richard’s career offers a more extreme example of a similar dichotomy. Though he scored two Top 10 hits in America in the 1970s, nearly all his many other singles and every one of his albums have flopped here. Most of today’s U.S. record buyers, particularly the younger ones, probably don’t even know his name. In England

    On the Record: ‘American Cosmic Revival,’ by Christian Parker & Friends, plus the Kennedys and Ned Hill Band (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Guitarist and singer Christian Parker and nearly a dozen of his pals, including Earl Poole Ball, Patrick Cleary, and JayDee Maness, are on a mission. They want to expose new generations to the so-called cosmic country pioneered in the late 1960s and early 1970s by acts such as the Byrds, Gram Parsons, and the Flying Burrito Brothers. It’s music Parker and his bandmates know well and, in at least two cases, helped to create. Ball worked with the Byrds, the Burrito Brothers, and the International
