Synopsis

Album Description

2008 Grammy Award Nominee For Best Musical Album For Children!!! The most wide-ranging CD from TFIA's 30-year career includes a stirring homage to Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. From breezy island vibes and rock & roll to cool jazz and bluegrass, TFIA celebrates our Big Round World with wit and wisdom. "They embody a kind of goofball gestalt at odds with the sugary-sweet format of so much other music for the younger crowd." -- New York Times

CD Reviews

Trout Fishing for kids

Peter Dain | Massachusetts, USA | 10/24/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Trout has penned lyrics that are easy for children to understand. Some songs are silly, others promote learning or good habits. At the same time they compose music that is appealing to children and adults alike, meaning that we "big people" aren't at risk of becoming bored with the music by the second time we hear the album through. Another fine effort from this musical duo."

Big Round World nominated for 2009 Grammy!

The Trout House | Prairie Grove, AR | 11/20/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Greetings from the 'Trout House'

Trout Fishing in America are thrilled that their latest family release, Big Round World, was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Musical Album for Children category. This caps off a great year for TFIA. In late November, Big Round World was selected to top NPR's "The Year in Music for Kids" List for 2008. The CD also received a 2008 National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) Gold winner and a Parents' Choice "Silver" Honor. In June, Performing Songwriter named Trout Fishing in America as one of their `100 Most Influential Independent Artists of the Past 15 Years'.

This is a particularly proud moment for Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet (aka Trout Fishing in America) as they produced this CD in their 'Trout House' studio. Idlet and Grimwood stretched out musically on this CD as well, playing even more instruments than on their past releases. Guitarist Idlet added percussion, mandolin and ukulele to his bag of tricks while Grimwood sat down at the keyboard to add that soulful B3 sound.
