All The Colors

Well, I guess the measure of a children's album's artistry is the effect it has on children. So, I played Ira Marlowe's "All The Colors" album for my three year old, and she absolutely loved it. Her biggest response came from the song "The Ballad Of Pepe Pinto," with it's Spanish flavored tuba and Caribbean accented steel drums. My favorite, however was "Molly the Moose in Hollywood," where it seems that even moose have morals.

This is a good CD for kids and adults to sing along and ride along to. Don't be surprised if you find yourself listening to these without your children around.
