Rootsy Rock with a Hint of Blues …
HOOTENANNY
Parents’ Choice Award winning independent musician Steve Pierson and his powerhouse band Jambo are on a mission to bring real American roots music to kids. Jambo looks forward with pride to the February 12 release of their second, roots-based studio CD,Hootenanny (Got the Blues Music, $14.95, for ages 4 – 9, run time 42 minutes).
My husband is a guitarist and he loves to play blues among other things so I know this CD would be one he would enjoy listening to with our two youngest musicians in the making. This will definitely have your family moving and singing alone in no time! Just think bluegrass, blues and a smidge of rock and roll for good measure.
Co-produced by Jambo’s creator (and former Blues Head front man) Steve Pierson and Grammy nominee Tor Hyams, Hootenanny features fourteen Steve Pierson originals. Notes Steve, “I wrote two kinds of songs for Hootenanny: full blown band tracks and what I call ‘back porch’ tracks. I really wanted to mix up styles and give listeners a taste of different instruments and different kinds of songs. One of my primary goals has been to give kids, at a very early age, a taste of the ‘good stuff’ — the kind of organic, rootsy music that I love and that I feel is missing in much of kids’ music these days.”

I will be honest, I was unable to view the website as I am having problems downloading the Flashplayer Plug-In on Windows 8, but Hootenanny looks great!
