Great for young kids!
The music is upbeat and the lyrics are clever (so not boring for adults). My son is 5 years old and loves this CD. It's great for car rides and dancing in the living room. .


The best children's band that has ever existed.
Vaguely listening, it sounds like your generic children's album. When you first turn inFINity on, you might not be paying too much attention to it. A guitar/bass duo are playing what sounds like a generic children's song and a man with what sounds like the voice all children's folk singers have is singing generic children's lyrics. Whatever.

But after awhile, you begin to notice something that sets this album apart from the many other children's albums you've heard - the music is GOOD. It doesn't sound like children's music, it sounds like real, good folk music. And the lyrics. . . they're GOOD. They make sense. And they're funny. Oh, and they're not limited to folk, either. Check out the soft rock "Dinosaur In Your Bathtub" or the jazz "Everything That's Made of Wood".

This band has managed to create an album that not only is similar enough to children's music to hold kids' attentions and make them laugh, they've also made a great album for anyone who enjoys music.

And, adding on to their greatness, they have a great sense of humor. Tune to the second-to-last track, "It's Better Than That". The lyrics begin. . . "I got news for you kids who think adults are lucky - 'They own their own cars and everything's just ducky. ' 'Going to bed whenever they want to. ' If that's what you think, I've got a flash for you. "

"Oh no," you think, "Not another song that's so filled with 'be good' messages, there's no room for real music or lyrics. " Then the rest of the song continues. The surprise value of this song will have you laughing your head off the first time you hear it, so I won't reprint they lyric here. But let's just say that the song doesn't go the way you'd expect it to.

This album is the PERFECT children's album in that it combines good, clean music for children with good, funny music for adults.


I love Trout!!
Or on your kid's car seat. This album is great - loads of fun, good "repeatability factor" (this means you can play it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over in the car - the way kids always want to) - and you won't want to press the eject button on the dashboard.

The music is silly, intelligent, sly, outrageous and the fun comes through in every note. Having seen Trout in concert twice now, I can truthfully say that these are guys you want your kids to hang out with. In fact, you'll want to listen too.

The song "My Best Day" came out of a workshop Trout participated in with a bunch of kids all talking about what they wished they could have for their very best day. I think the part about "raining chocolate" came from Keith though. If you listen to Trout music, you will hear a distinct bias towards all things chocolate.

Get this album, put it on loud and let the kids have a ball! I guarantee you will too.


These guys just keep getting better!
It is intelligent, fun, thoughtful, kind, engaging entertainment with an ethic. From another family musician and a fan of theirs: I hear lots of musicians trying to do what the Trouts are doing--they do it best. These guys care about people and community. This collection shines and does not tire easily. Highly recommended!.


More Trout, please.
And don't call it "kid's music", please - the lyrics are always amusing for everyone and the rhythms just right for bopping about. Excellent! More danceable fun from TFIA.
