Dream Jam Band has a fun new album for kids, Leave it in the Soup, due out July 13.
The tracks on Leave it in the Soup have a “grown up” sound with kid friendly themes; just the kind of tunes my 3K students enjoy for making up funky dance routines.
The band cites a wide range of influences from The Beatles to Woody Guthrie.
I hear Dream Jam Band performs in sweet costumes. This would also be appreciated by my students. Maybe they could borrow some of our classroom dress ups some time.
Among the tracks on Leave it in the Soup are rock, surf rock, and even a nod to Mozart (see: I Can’t Tie My Shoes).
Listing of tracks:
1. Dance Like a Skeleton
2. Bad Hair Day
3. Leave it in the Soup
4. Have a Party When You Get the Blues
5. Great Day
6. I Can’t Tie My Shoes
7. Boing
8. Friends of the Sea
9. Melanie the Mermaid
10. This Old Town
11. The Lullaby
