Playing in the Band

PreS-Gr 3—Crunchy guitars, funky beats, catchy tunes, and nice harmonies are features on this album of 11 songs written by Jessie and Chris Apple and joined by Liam Moroney and Billy Papenberg. With a sound somewhat similar to the Partridge Family, the band gives great vocal and instrumental performances on guitars, bass, drums, and percussion. The eclectic mix of styles includes hard rock, country, reggae, rockabilly, and folk. These kid-friendly tunes include "Playing in the Band," "Shakin' Shakin'," "Slow Down," "Snow Falls" (with jingle bells), "She's My Grandma," "Sing, Sing, Sing," "No, No, No," "Rain Falls," "Blame It on My Sister," "You Can Do Anything," and "Talkin' Bout Love." This album will have listeners singing and dancing along.—Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX
