Fink and Marxer (whose album of original lullabies, "Blanket Full Of Dreams," was nominated for a Grammy in 1996), extol creative alternatives to the ubiquitous force of media with songs like "Turn It Off, Change The Channel, Leave The Room," "50 Things That I Can Do Instead Of Watch TV," and "Dad Threw The TV Out The Window." | | They also address issues such as creative conflict resolution ("Count To Ten And Try Again," "Use A Word," and "Talk To Me"); understanding the difference between TV and video super heroes and real life ("The Power In Me" and "The TV Way," a delightful tall tale by NPR commentator Bill Harley); as well as songs about sharing and being communicative. Fink and Marxer melodies are easily learned and imminently memorable, each song features a children's chorus, and the musicianship throughout is top notch (drawing on such diverse influences as Dixieland, Gospel, Swing, Celtic and Folk). A witty, emotional and educational album that kids and their parents will enjoy. Nominated for a Grammy in 1999. |
