A great mix of folk and fun
Imagine sitting around an Irish pub, swinging a beer in your hand, and singing out loud. Now... imagine the kids are there. Clearly, if you're able to do this, you must be listening to The Hollow Trees. A mix of folk and country, with a little blue grass thrown in, the CD has familiar songs with a bit of a twist... and new songs that are catchy and easy to sing along with. There are songs for every preschooler--animal songs, fishing songs, classics and, well, more obscure classics. And a few originals. Our family favorite is Bunny Hop. No... not that bunny hop, but a fun one you can move to while singing along and NOT feel like a preschool teacher when you sing it. (We were caught singing it in the pediatrician's office a few days ago during our wait!)
Original songs, like the Forest Melody, bring me back to my college days when we would camp around the fire and sing... or attempt to. Again... picture it with the kids.
The Hollow Trees include Greg and Laura, with their band (banjo and snare drum) and friends and family providing back-up vocals and animal sounds. Their first album, self titled The Hollow Trees, includes 17 acoustic songs you will love. Preview the album at CD Baby... and don't be surprised if you start singing Bunny Hop at the pediatrician, too.

Thanks Julie! We're always looking for new music to listen to...especially stuff we can both enjoy.
