ABOUT PUTUMAYO KIDS PRESENTS: ROCK & ROLL PLAYGROUND
Enter to win Putumay Kids Presents: Rock & Roll Playground CD, featuring award-winning artists - including Dan Zanes, Peter Himmelman, Taj Mahal And Many More. Deadline to enter to win is July 7th by 7pm (EST).
Celebrated children’s music label Putumayo Kids releases today a tribute to the early history of rock & roll with their newest CD, Rock & Roll Playground. Kids of all ages can shake, rattle and roll to music by a stellar group of established and up-and-coming artists.
The songs on Rock & Roll Playground were recorded in recent years but were inspired by the evolution of the genre. Grammy Award winners Dan Zanes and Friends invite you to “bug” and “twist” on the song “Let’s Shake,” while rockabilly royalty Rosie Flores churns out feverish licks on “This Little Girl’s Gone Rockin’.” Grammy Award winner Taj Mahal and Linda Tillery lend an infectious Bo Diddley beat to “Willie and The Hand Jive,” and noted singer-songwriter Peter Himmelman delivers a classic rock performance on “Little Bitty Baby.”
Grammy Award winner Bill Harley sings about a slumbering teenage brother in “Sleep the Whole Day Through” and Uncle Rock performs a blues-infused cover of the Steppenwolf classic “Magic Carpet Ride.” Rock & Roll Playground also features 2009 Grammy nominee Brady Rymer as well as Charity and the JAMband; New Jersey’s StarFish; Parents’ Choice Gold award winner Roger Day; Melissa Green and John Lennon Songwriting Contest winners Rhythm Child.
A charmingly illustrated read-aloud booklet also accompanies the CD, with notes about the history of rock & roll and the story of each song:

I loved singing along with Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (Beatles), especially “A Little Help From My Friends.” My mom had the LP with picture cutouts. I loved playing with the mustache cutout. Thanks for the flashback!
