Rebecca Frezza and Big Truck - Special Kind of Day
- Rebecca Frezza and her band Big Truck’s album, Special Kind of Day, is a CD the whole family can listen to and enjoy. Though the lyrics are more for children—the opening song, “Come On Out,” celebrating the arrival of spring, addresses different animals as Mr. Hedgehog, Mr. Mouse and so on—older listeners can get caught up in the band’s music, which employs a variety of instruments and is complex enough to capture the listener’s interest. The album’s 13 songs take you through the seasons of the year. As evidenced by the eighth track, “Birthday Song,” special occasions also get covered on the album. Frezza is backed up by Dania Liberti and Fran Baltzer on vocals, Ivan Max on lead guitar, Kellen Harrison on bass guitar, Shawn Baltazor on drums and Beth Adelman on several instruments, including harmonica, djembe, tambourine, recorder, maracas, and also vocals. The cheerful music and lyrics are sure to make children and adults smile. The combination of pop/rock, country and jazz music styles, as well as a bit of world music on the CD, maintain interest in the music and increase breadth in music knowledge at the same time.
