Maggie and Terre Roche - Seductive Reasoning (1975)

Send us a text

Fellow music nerds who love harmony will know a thing or three about the Roches. But you might not be aware of an album that came before the group.

Maggie and Terre Roche's Seductive Reasoning arrived in 1975 and helped to lay the groundwork for the Roches' debut that emerged four years later in 1979.

Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls joins Jeff and Matt to share the importance of Seductive Reasoning -- and how the Roches influenced her own musical path.

We discuss a wide range of topics, including Amy's newest solo album, If It All Goes South. Fans will get a chance to hear songs from the record live as Amy heads out on the road with her band starting in early February for a month's worth of dates.

The tour begins in Dallas and includes a stop at Nashville historic Ryman Auditorium, where Amy will be opening for Tedeschi Trucks Band.

Along the way, she'll play a number of other headlining dates, wrapping things up in Georgia with gigs in Athens and Atlanta. Kevn Kinney of Drivin N Cryin will be sharing the bill for all of the dates except Nashville.

P.S. Matt is getting over a cold and apologizes for the bit of coughing in the intro. Happy New Year!

P.S.S. It's the one year anniversary of The Record Player. We talk about that a bit.
