  • Description

    Where Do I Come From is a collection of songs by Maggie Roche (1951-2017) that spans forty years, providing a glimpse into one of our most original American songwriters. Maggie was at the center of the long-running and much-admired music group The Roches, created with her sisters Terre and Suzzy. Maggie composed her songs for three voices to sing, fashioning the signature sound of The Roches. Where Do I Come From is a 32 track 2CD set of Maggie's songs, spanning her entire music career from her 1979 duo album with her sister Terre, through the Roches 2007 reunion record. The collection, which has been compiled in close collaboration with Suzzy, also features 4 previously unreleased recordings, including a home demo of one of the last songs Maggie wrote.



    I honestly can't think of a more important songwriter and more important group to me..she was the most wry, the most deeply observational, the most, at once, sort of down home and philisophical songwriter that I know of. I just long for people to hear her music so much, so I'm so excited that this collection exists for the world to discover.
    – ANN POWERS, NPR MUSIC



    Gives you an idea of the joyful, searching power of song in general.
