Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Another great one
All The Roches music is equally great: their lyrics touch on pieces of life that no one usually sings about--working in a restaurant, baby for the "unwed" mother, a big guy taking up a two-person seat--the music is captivating, and the harmonies perfectly intricate. Try singing a line yourself and you realize how they pick up each others voices and go running off to unreachable highs and lows. They even make me laugh. If you're scrounging around to find pride in this country like some of us, The ... Read More
Rating: - Childlike, quirky folk never bettered by its makers
"Keep On Doing", a reunion with Robert Fripp, showed the Roches perfecting - to a degree they would never do later - the approach of their first two albums.
Whilst all the childlike naivette and understated simplicity of such highlights as "The Death Of Suzzy Roche" from those two albums remains, on "Keep On Doing" the sisters combine it with a degree of infectious energy they would never again equal.
The beautiful harmonies of the opener "The Hallelujah Chorus" are instantly ... Read More
Rating: - Fairfax County will break your heart
On its own, The Road to Fairfax County is worth the price of admission. And the vocals and lyrics elsewhere on the album sparkle and shimmer. On my list of Roches CD's, Keep on Doing is first equal along with We Three Kings (which also rates as my favourite Christmas CD, from any artist).
Rating:  - Oh my goodness... I'm at a loss of (nice) things to say
I heard their Hallelujah Chorus track on a compilation album, and was immediately, ahem, displeased. Shrill voices, mangled phrasing, unoriginal voicings... oh my, poor Handel!
Attempting to give this group the benefit of the doubt, I listened to several other tracks of their Keep on Doing album, and alas, felt just as uncomfortable with their singing as when I began.
I know I'm likely to get slammed here, and this is actually one of the very few negative reviews I've written on Amazon.com, ... Read More
Rating: - Keep on Doing by the Roches
This is a great album. If the only Roches album you know is the first one (the Roches), you might be initially disappointed with this one, since the "the Roches" is such an incredible album. But when you start listening to this, you realize bit by bit that the songwriting is still great here. The harmonies and the arrangements are wonderful. I think my favorite tune is actually not written by them, " On the Road to Fairfax County". But they do an amazing job with the arrangement ... Read More
