The record
Roché sings ten songs with a guitar-and-piano quartet -- Wally Richardson, Jimmy Neeley, Michel Mulia, Rudy Lawless -- and the title tells you the approach. 'Rocks In My Bed' and 'I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)' sit next to 'Polka Dots And Moonbeams.' PRLP 7198, engineered and cut by Van Gelder in 1961, with Joe Goldberg's notes on the back.
