Our family (especially Spaz and Lil Riot) are very easily pleased when it comes to music we can bring in the car. We all love music and we definitely love to sing. Groove Kid Nation was not just an addition to our big collection but quickly a go to album. Our 10 year old appreciates the music because it keeps brothers on both sides of him occupied so they don't tease him. However, the oldest actually made a point to tell me that he liked the cd, it was "catchy". This shocked me since his favorite song is Gun's N Roses - Sweet Child of Mine.
Music in Motion follows the success of the critically acclaimed first release, Wheels On The Bus. This cd had hits such as The Itsy Bitsy Spider and obviously the Wheels On The Bus.. which my two youngest love and sing all the time.
The purpose of this new album was to get those kids off the couch, get moving around and at the same time learn about musical instruments and the concepts. I sing along to all the Kid's Songs with them anyways, but this was just more fun for all of us. I loved their version of I've Been Working On The Railroad redone as I've Been Playing In A Soul Band. I can't help but groove to that one! Spaz's favorite tune is 4 Little Kittens, a rendition of the well known 5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the bed.

So many great talents contribute to the cd including his adorable son who lends some vocals to the Kool Katz (the kitty band). Go to the website to find out more on who is involved in these great cds and who they have worked with.

Rodney Lee, a veteran record producer and keyboardist living in L.A., was discouraged with what was offered for children's music. None of them seemed to have that vibe to it that really just got you moving and grooving. So he decided to tackle that issue on and came up with Groove Kid Nation. Thank you Lee!
