Description

Barry Louis Polisar's songs for children have always been a little different than most. His lyrics are wry, sly and witty and this album is the most musically textured he has produced.Seventeen songs are featured here including a bluesy I'm a Slug, the 1999 winner of the "Children's Music Award for best song" and a joyful song about Potty Training, sung to the tune of Waltzing Matilda.But listen carefully; the album is a pun and fun filled adventure with musical homages to everyone from Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix and Guy Clark to the First Nations a cappella trio Ulali. The Homemade Band song features Barry playing every instrument-except the instruments are common everyday kitchen utensils. And let's not forget about the cover art-creatively designed by Barry's eleven-year old daughter!
