K-Gr 5—On the final album of his "Deep Woods Trilogy," Portland, OR—based musician Andy Furgeson weaves his original tunes with traditional ones. His rockabilly arrangements of traditional songs "Old Mother Goose," "Mr. Gamble," "Leatherwing Bat," "Old Black Dog," and "Crawdad" find new life and energy when enhanced with a Red Yarn twist. Furgeson demonstrates how clever he can be by writing the lyrics of "Deep Woods Revisited" as a collection of alliterative phrases, all in alphabetical order. He brings listeners from melancholy to joy in "Born Again," celebrates new life in "Little Baby Born Today," and announces that new baby to the world in an original composition, "Mockingbird."

VERDICT Great for families taking a road trip into the deep woods.
