Where Do You Want to Go Today?

K-Gr 4—Award-winning performers Francie and Pat Kelley sing nine original songs and three covers on their second album, which features a variety of musical styles including African rhythms, Hawaiian folk, mariachi, pop, reggae, bluegrass, Irish folk, smooth jazz, tango, and country. Francie's vocals are lovely, as is her daughter's beautiful soprano voice on "Heart of the Matter." The Kelleys and guest musicians give virtuoso performances on guitar, slack key guitar, Hawaiian lap steel guitar, dobro, bass, ukulele, guitarron, fiddle, violin, banjo, mandolin, piano, trumpet, drums, and percussion. The album takes listeners to the Serengeti ("African Skies"), Hawaii ("Uku Ukulele"), Mexico ("Albondigas"), Jamaica ("Jamaica, Make It Come True"), Ireland ("Irish Dream"), Argentina ("Tarantula Tango"), and the United States ("This Land Is Your Land"). "Seeds" compares children to seeds in God's hands, landing either in fertile or sandy soil. A dog and cats get into the act with "Has Anybody Seen My Kitty?" This is an album the entire family can enjoy together.—Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX
