Parent's Choice Silver Award Winner Summer 2004
Best new artist and Best Recording ages 3-5 yrs. Children's Music Web 2004

Roots Music For Kids! Can you dig it? If you've got a "blues kid" this record is a must! Raffi meets Leadbelly. Kid blues standards and originals that bounce in the country blues style of Rev. Gary Davis, Mississippi John Hurt and Leadbelly.

Kids who have never heard of Leadbelly or Mississippi John Hurt will be getting thier first taste of an important piece of their musical heritage when they encounter this album. They won't know that, however, because they'll be having too much fun listening and singing along. Many of the thirteen songs in this up-tempo collection of blues tunes will be familliar to most adults and many children. Some are traditional: "Frog Went a Courting," "Wheels on the Bus," and "Old Macdonald." Some notably "Baby Beluga"-are more closely associated with other performers. Two are original: "Mrs. Butterworth," (think syrup) and "Everything is Gonna Be Allright" a lighter-than-air ditty that is as comforting as a blankie at bedtime. Johnson's smoky voice is accompanied by simple strummed, plucked, and patted guitar riffs. In a world of electronically produced music, the sound of fingers on strings makes listening to this album a truly intimate experience. Kristi Jemtegaard ©2004 Parents' Choice

"Accomplished bluesman Victor Johnson brings an air of authority to a baker's dozen of songs on CBFK... in a rough charming voice, adeptly accompanying himself on acoustic guitar." Nick Jr. Family Magazine
