Album Review

"The 1988 release features McCutcheon's exquisite world music arrangements and authentic instrumentation. It is the only album for children I have heard that exceeds merely quoting musical genres: it embodies them completely. McCutcheon serves up a spicy combination of South African beat, calypso, reggae, bluegrass, string band music, rock 'n' roll, new age folk-jazz, and Latin American-influenced music." — Acoustic Guitar
