Album Notes

Roach's rich soprano can ascend in a heartbeat from a meow to a whorehouse mama's bellow without sacrificing accuracy or nuance. Her purrs smolder with pent-up power; her midrange belting is whiskey-coarse but unerringly melodic; even her most audacious upper-register shreiks sound unforced. Like a Jazz singer, she often sound as if she's thinking in triplets; even when she's bucking a thunderous shuffle or rock 'n' roll boogie, she'll dip insinusting in to whatever spaces she can find between the beats, then grab the rhythm again and ride it, wailing and testifying to it's conclusion. On their most recent release, Blues and all the Rest, Roach sounds more torrid than ever. The most riviting track "Something Down", is a country-folk lament with Memphis overtones that masterfully involks the existential displacement of true heartbreak. Roach's voice starts out silky, slowly aquires a wounded edge, and ultimately explodes into a wail of desolation past caring. (Chicago Reader)

Album Notes:

"Imagine Etta James riding a Harley out of an active volcano, and you'll have some vague inkling as to the vocal power emanating from 'Roach', the frontwoman of L.A. blues and groove unit Cafe R&B. But don't take our word for it; the group has earned raves from the likes of Ike Turner and Buddy Guy, who've seen a few blues acts in their day... Roach has found the perfect musical counterpoint in the scorching leads of Byl Carruthers, and the ultra -phat organ and piano work of Harry Cohen. Café's rhythm section drummer Steve Klong, and bassist Ken Dooley handle the songs' vast dynamic range with aplomb... Opening with a clever recreation of an old blues record, "Tall Grass" kicks into gear with Roach's rafter-rattling wail, rolling Hammond fills, and a riff that sounds like the Delta on Steroids..."
