Let's Go! Travel, Camp & Car Songs

$14.00

Let's Go! takes you and your children on an adventure through music: you'll explore the woods, star gaze on a cowboy's range, dig for clams in San Francisco Bay, yodel with an ostrich on a mountain and visit 22 other traditional-now-hip places. Let's Go! compiles 26 travel, camp & car songs, providing more than an hour of entertainment (perfect for road trips.) As with all Rock Me Baby Records CDs, this CD offers fresh, upbeat styles, real instruments, lots of voices, and interesting takes on the old favorites - adding cool rhythms and contemporary arrangements.

Let's Go! is Susie Tallman and Rock Me Baby Records' sixth album in a collection of award-winning music, popular with both children and parents. Let's Go! was recorded in Sydney & Melbourne Australia with producers Mark O'Connor and Peter Farnan. The guest artists include Peter Maslen on drums, Greg O'Connor on ukelele and vocals, Michael Reily Burke, Maude Farnan, Stella Farnan and Roberta O'Connor on vocals.

"Road trips and campfires make up strong childhood memories and they were always accompanied by song. Between my parents, brother and grandparents, we sung all the time. My grandfather was a park ranger-naturalist at Yosemite and Lassen National Parks in the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. Not only did my grandfather take campers on nature hikes, he led campfires and taught songs, played the banjo and violin, so he passed down many of his camp favorites, including "Ain't Gonna Rain No More, 1000 Legged Worm, You Are My Sunshine, Oh Susanna, The Old Family Toothbrush". I decided to make this record to encourage the family to get together and sing in the car and hopefully create a soundtrack for vacations."

Rock Me Baby Records has won the Parents' Choice Gold Award for Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum & Gold Awards and the Parents' Choice recommended for Classic Nursery Rhymes, the iParenting & Oppenheim Gold Award for Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites and the iParenting Award for Classical Baby. Tallman's CDs have also been recommended in Parenting, Baby Talk, Fit Pregnancy, Child and other National Publications.

Singer Susie Tallman graduated UCLA with a BA in voice performance. She further evolved her voice traveling and singing all around the world, nicely preparing her to present these travel, camp and car songs. Susie currently lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with her husband and daughter, baby Tessa.
"Susie records music of quality for young children. It is her mission to provide music that is an alternative to the plethora of that genre offered commercially that is childish instead of child-like, sarcastic instead of sincere, a kind of music that fails to honor children and childhood. She is dedicated to excellence as she chooses materials that reflect traditional, heritage, and Classical forms, all performed artistically and in a beautifully natural style. In today's society, parents have often forgotten or lost the ability to share songs with their children. Here, they have a wonderful model and a way to give their children a repertoire and vocabulary to accompany their journey through their very important formative years." -Louise Loomis (Director New Mexico Symphony Children's Chorus)
