Big Buncha Buddies

Performed by Keith Munslow & Bridget Brewer. CD. Approx. 35 min. Needlenose Music. 2017. $12.
COPY ISBN
K-Gr 5—Munslow and Brewer present 11 original, upbeat songs in country, rock, R&B, and pop musical styles. The backup band makes beautiful music on piano, organ, bass, guitar, drums, and percussion. Vocals are enthusiastic and harmonious. There is a "Big Buncha Buddies" in a little tiny room. A "Stray Dog" becomes a child's best friend. In "That Was a Bad Idea," children paint their bedroom and release snakes at the pet store. "Jilly the Ghost" wreaks havoc all over the house. "The Loneliest Whale" has the blues. In "Why Did You Teach Me That Word," a youngster learns a four-letter word on the school bus and is grounded for saying it at home. The remaining songs are "Stick Pony," "Bridgie B," "Tall and Small," "It's an Adventure," and "Don't Grow Up Too Fast."
VERDICT These energetic, toe-tapping tunes will appeal to the whole family.
