Imagine if someone took all of your favourite songs from childhood and mashed them up with some smooth jazz grooves, kickin’ rockabilly beats, twangin’ blueglass riffs and the joyful sounds of soul and funk… well my friends, they have! The album is called 15 Songs Every Kid Should Know (and will love) and here’s my favourite track, a jazz rendition of Itsy Bitsy Spider!
Other cool tracks on this album include Shoo Fly, 5 Green Speckled Frogs, 6 Little Ducks, and Skip To My Lou… There’s even a catchy version of Waltzing Matilda by New Yorker Jon Pousette-Dart which is great for family sing-a-long. If only it was sung by an Aussie…!
