Overview
Farmer Jason is back, but this time out he's migrated from the farm to the forest, uncovering a tasty selection of musical fruits that'll appeal to kids of all ages. The erstwhile Jason & the Scorchers frontman pays exhilarating homage to the Ramones on "Punk Rock Skunk," with its "Hey ho! Let's go!" children's chorus, buzz-saw guitars, and goofy lyrics sung from the point of view of, yes, a skunk that's leaving the straight life behind. The fanciful "Ode to a Toad" starts south of the border and winds up even farther south, in a Jamaican dance hall. A rhyming game that identifies forest creatures, "Forest Rhymes" cops its rhythmic thrust from both "Bo Diddley" and "Mystery Train," and has a wonderful message: "Rhymin' is so fun to do / go ahead and try / play a game with words and you / let your spirits fly!" By encouraging his young listeners to luxuriate in the wonders of language, Farmer Jason (né Jason Ringenberg) presents an album that plays like a rock 'n' roll Sesame Street segment. Welcomed by Farmer Jason as a "famous folk singer," Todd Snider shows up for a smoky guest vocal on the lean, stinging country blues "He's a Moose on the Loose." Alert older listeners will identify the multitude of musical sources Farmer Jason references in his polyglot arrangements, and will likely have as much fun with the lyrics as will the kids. Children's music for all ages -- that's what this Farmer's cultivating.
