The Greatest Family Album that I Know

I completely agree with the review written on the myspace page:

"The songs on the album are intended to be sweet and playful yet insightful and thoughtful. Written in true to form Ellis Paul style of compelling and witty story telling; each song will bring both parents and children into a picture that Ellis paints with each lyric ...The songs and artwork are clearly meant to be enjoyed by children as well as adults and promises to be a significant addition to the genre of family music."

I bought the album even though I am twenty and have no children. I put it onto my itunes and don't listen to it that often by myself, but I gave my copy to my two-year-old cousin and I always listen to it with him. It is really fun. The music is genuinely great folk, with upbeat and original acoustic guitar and all sorts of arrays of harmonies. As can be expected from Ellis Paul - one of the greatest singer-songwriters still going strong - the lyrics are truly insightful and inspiring, great for kids and even stimulating for adults.
