Synopsis

Product Description
Celebrated children's music label Putumayo Kids is set to release a tribute to the early history of rock & roll with their newest CD, Rock & Roll Playground, due out June 29th. Kids of all ages can shake, rattle and roll to music by a stellar group of established and up-and-coming artists. A charmingly illustrated read-aloud booklet also accompanies the CD, with notes about the history of rock & roll and the story of each song. The songs on Rock & Roll Playground were recorded in recent years but were inspired by the evolution of the genre. Grammy® Award winners Dan Zanes and Friends invite you to "bug" and "twist" on the song "Let's Shake," while rockabilly royalty Rosie Flores churns out feverish licks on "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'." Grammy Award winner Taj Mahal and Linda Tillery lend an infectious Bo Diddley beat to "Willie and The Hand Jive." Rock & Roll Playground also features 2009 Grammy nominee Brady Rymer as well as New Jersey's StarFish doing "The StarFish Stomp" and Parents' and Choice® Gold award winner Roger Day. Says Dan Storper, founder and C.E.O. of Putumayo World Music, "Putumayo Kids has become known for introducing children to the music of other cultures. Rock music exploded onto the scene during my childhood. It's fitting that as we raise our five-year-old son William in New Orleans, the home of many rock & roll legends, that Putumayo is presenting a collection of rock songs that children in America and around the world are sure to enjoy." Widely recognized as one of the most innovative children's music labels in the world, the award-winning Putumayo Kids is committed to introducing children to different cultures through fun, upbeat collections of music from around the world.

The catchy, popular rock tunes are sung by a wide variety of performers; all of them have a toe-tapping beat that is sure to bring excitement to children's parties or celebrations. A wonderfully lively and engaging album, and an excellent gift for budding young rock lovers. The tracks are "Sleep the Whole Day Through", "Jump Up (It's a Good Day)", "Little Bitty Baby", "Willie and the Hand Jive", "Let's Shake", "Row Row Row Your Boat", "Oh Susanna", "This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'", "Magic Carpet Ride", "At the Bus Stop", "The StarFish Stomp", and "Dream Big!".
