Not having kids, I can't speak as a parent. But as a longtime Terri Hendrix fan (and a discriminating fan of great music in general), I love this record. Terri's always had "fun" songs and serious songs on her records, and I've always been partial to the serious stuff but enjoy the fun stuff too because I admire her scope and ability to make you, as she put it in one song, "cry till you laugh." Her kids record is ALL fun, but smart and moving, too. And true to its title, it's all over the place: pop, folk, sing-alongs, techno, country and even a little punk ("Nerves" has gotta be the craziest song she's ever done, and you can tell she had a blast rocking out on it, too.) The whole record plays like a big, warm happy smile. Oh, and if you have kids, I suspect they'll dig it, too.

With lyrics that appeal to young and old, and amazing musical chops that expand the genre of what is defined as "children's music", the energy is amazing from start to finish. You'll be sneaking this one from your child's CD collection when they're not looking, and play it loud and play it proud.

Yo, this album rules and there is some bombass artwork by Justin Jackley!
