Review

It's always refreshing to find a kids' album that doesn't seem uniquely designed to drive adults crazy. As you pop in this CD and putter, you might not even notice that its bouncy, folksy, Squeeze-meets-John Prine-meets-Lovin' Spoonful music is for kids, until you hear phrases like "belly button," "dinosaur," "mud puddle"--and the familiar strains of "The Muffin Man." Happy Lemons is Chicago-based artist Ralph Covert's third children's music release, after the popular Ralph's World and At the Bottom of the Sea. As ever, Covert writes (and sings) most of the songs on Happy Lemons, from "Sammy the Dog" to "Dinosaur Rumble," though familiar songs like "Pony Boy" (arranged by Bruce Springsteen) and Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "What's New, Pussycat?" also make appearances. This effervescent CD manages to offer up blues, folk, pop, and jazz elements without a hiccup. A particular favorite is the silly but harmonious "Betty Botter," which tinkers with the traditional tongue-twister about making bitter batter better to great effect. Special guests on the album include blues artist Corky Siegel, rock drummer Matt Walker, and an exuberant chorus of kids. Children's book illustrator Giselle Potter (Gabriella's Song, Kate and the Beanstalk) designed the whimsical cover for this CD, giving form to the trombone-playing dog Sammy, Pony Boy, and many, many happy lemons. Whoever thinks that "fun for the whole family" isn't possible hasn't explored Ralph's World. --Karin SnelsonJust in time for the holiday season comes 'Happy Lemons', the third stellar release by proven seller and critically acclaimed Ralph's World.
