The Roches: “On the Road to Fairfax County” (1982)
The second song we’ve featured from the Roches’ third LP, Keep On Doing. This one was written by David Massengill in the tradition of centuries-old English murder ballads, such as the one covered by Kirsty MacColl here.

The Roches: “Losing True” (1982)
For the uninitiated, The Roches are not a cheekily-named rock band but rather a trio of folk-singing sisters with the last name Roche who arose from the Greenwich Village scene in the late ’70’s.
Their third album, Keep On Doing, was produced (as was their second) by Robert Fripp, and features cameos from Fripp and fellow King Crimson band mates Tony Levin and Bill Bruford. “Losing True” highlights both the exquisite harmonies of the siblings and Fripp’s Guitar solo.
