The Dirty Socks Come Clean

PreS-Gr 4—Great harmonies and an enthusiastic children's chorus are features of this band's third album, which employs a variety of musical styles such as rock, funk, calypso, pop ballad, klezmer, jazz, and African sounds. The band performs with excellent vocals and instrumental performances on guitars, bass, keyboards, saxophone, drums and percussion. Guest musician Laurie Berkner joins the band in a swinging rendition of "We're in Love." A pseudo travel advertisement encourages tourists to vacation at "Cheese World." A dog wants the family cat to drive him to his Hollywood audition on time, so that he can become a star in "Kitty Kat Yeah." Quirky and humorous lyrics abound in songs like "The Dirty Socks Come Clean," "Garbage Bugs," National Hiccup Day," "Robots from the 4th Dimension," and "Mystical Science Librarian." A bouncy and upbeat album that the whole family will enjoy.—Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX
