Saying Uncle, Emphatically

We love Uncle Rock. Love him. Looooove him. And if you like your kids music in the form of good ol’ acoustic American rock, you’re going to love him too. The Uncle (aka Robert Burke Warren) is now out with his third children’s album, Uncle Rock U. The 17 head-bobbing tracks include fun remixes of his popular Too Many Presents and Predator Dinosaur along with plenty of new goodies that parents and kids can enjoy together. While there’s a lot to like here, I really dig the surprisingly folksy There’s Love in This Food which has that easy, repetitive melody of a favorite olde time-y children’s song tune your grandparents might have taught you.
This is not some cynical hipster rock album marketed to families wary of kids music; it really is made for children–there are even a few songs with kids singing backup in the least annoying way possible, I promise. And there’s enough edge that parents won’t hate it on the 137th listen.
Besides, how can you not love an album that includes a medley of all your favorite superhero theme songs?
