5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be disappointed, November 23, 2009

I'll start this review with a quote straight from the Hullabaloo website: "Hullabaloo is farm-fresh, free-range, organic kid-folk in a genre filled with musical Twinkies and Ding-Dongs." That may sound harsh, but any parent who's searched high and low for good music for their kids knows the latter part of that sentence is true. On their fifth album, High Roller, Hullabaloo (Steve Denyes and Brendan Kremer) continue their classic folk-country sound. The title track starts off the album, taking you to a time when country was king. When I hear "Ants in My Pants," I can picture a kid (for some reason I'm thinking about the younger kids on The Waltons) jumping around as red ants crawl up his jeans to retrieve the chocolate bar he left in his pocket. To those of you who don't like country music: Set that thought aside. Hullabaloo produces, first and foremost, quality music for the whole family to enjoy. Take High Roller for a spin, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. (Plus it has one of the coolest album covers of the year.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Particularly recommended for playing on family car trips, children's parties, or plain old rainy day fun, October 27, 2009

High Roller is the latest album of family-friendly kid-folk music by Hullabaloo, blending folk musical influences with inspiration from beloved figures such as Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash to create a collection of classical tunes redone with a new pizzazz. The result is listening experience that produces smiles from young and old alike! High Roller is particularly recommended for playing on family car trips, children's parties, or plain old rainy day fun. The tracks are "High Roller" (2:07), "Princess Bluejean" (2:19), "Ants in My Pants" (2:17), "Oh, Susanna!" (2:41), "How About You?" (3:01), "Choo Choo Choo" (2:21), "London Bridge" (2:00), "400 Cupcakes" (2:25), "Dinosaur in My Backyard" (2:21), "Old Dan Tucker" (1:49), "Beans and Rice" (1:24), "This Land is Your Land" (2:33).
