The Baby Grands really are grand, baby

I'd like to thank Donny, Marc and Ben of Atlanta's The Baby Grands for helping to bring my heart rate down after another "we're late!", mad-dash to the car with the kids. Hearing their cool, Jack Johnson-esque musical style paired with smart, amusing lyrics on their self-titled debut kids' CD was just what we needed to find our happy place again.

Overall, I'd described their style as laid-back with a beat. From songs like Wet Nosed Friend with its playful reggae feel, to Diggin' a Hole to China, notable for its REM-like vocals, The Baby Grands CD is chock-full of memorable, original songs for kids that won't make adults reach for ear plugs. And my kids won't want to admit it, but the playful song Sugar Makes Me Loco is definitely true. If only their grandmother remembered this truth before she doled out the lollipops before bedtime. -Christina
