Editorial Reviews

This recording features a great mix of upbeat songs to get your child moving and singing along, and ballads for taking a breather or calming back down. Roberts' songs are all original and carry influences of indie rock and modern folk. The CD features electric and acoustic guitar, saxophone, trombone, trumpet, drums, synthesizer, organ, bass, charango, banjo, mandolin, keyboard, and piano. This is great music for car ride sing-alongs and playtime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rescued from the Wiggles, March 16, 2006

We discovered Justin Roberts music on XM Kids radio one day, and my entire family was hooked. His lyrics are clever and surprising - and has brought my three kids (ages 5, 3, and 1) to both giggles and quiet thoughts while listening. We dance to "Airplane of Food" and "Daycamp" almost daily, and we LOVE the "Humpty Dumpty" song - it's inspired a game where the kids dream up crazy things that Humpty can see while up on the wall.

We're anxiously awaiting his new "Meltdown" CD release on March 21st, and are proud to own all of his albums. We each have our favorite songs - and the kids (and I) fight over which one to listen to next. We've graduated from the Wiggles, and are never EVER looking back!

My son, who is now almost 4, has been listening to Justin Roberts' music almost since he was born. He is a huge fan of Justin's lovely, funny lyrics and very danceable music -- and now his sister, 17 months, has joined Justin's fan club with this new CD; she starts laughing and dancing every time the first few bars of "Baby Brother" come on. While opinions in the family are divided over which of Justin's CDs is his finest effort (and, unlike "Yellow Bus," this latest effort actually takes a few listens to fully appreciate), he definitely has some in his camp for "Way Out." Best tunes: the title track; "Baby Brother"; "I Lost The Tooth I Lost"; and a really sweet song called "Roller in the Coaster." In our family, Justin Roberts and Dan Zanes reign supreme in children's music -- if you are determined to keep Raffi/The Wiggles/etc. out of your home, car, or wherever, you cannot do better than these guys, who make real music that adults can actually, genuinely enjoy, not least because of the enormous pleasure it gives the kids.

20 minutes after dropping my kids off at school, I'll realize that I'm still listening to Justin Roberts by myself. Truly great 'kids' music' that adults can enjoy, too.

The beat and brass on this one will get you moving.

Love it!!
