The exciting new band project. Eight musicians dedicated to the soulful sound of rhythm and blues.

'Cypress Grove'
STCD 007 First Released March 2003

The recording of this CD started in May 2002. What brought it about were the thoughts of the passing of my good friend and mentor, John Jackson, in January at the age of 77. Therefore, I am dedicating this album to his memory. John was a kind man and anyone who would have met him could attest to this fact. I remembered him talking about how he would like to record a CD with all spirituals. more>>

'Ain't Got Me No Home'
STCD 001 First Released September 1993
"Roach's voice and guitar never ring more true" Washington Post

From the traditional country blues of "Kassie Jones" to the original "Ain´t Got Me No Home", Michael Roach is consummate blues singer. Much has been written in recent years of "keeping the blue alive" but sadly this has often merely referred to artists who clone their blues from early recordings without adding anything of their own personality, sometimes ever repeating personal asides from the original, verbatim. Michael Roach is no much artist. more>>
