Abstract:
A return to the age-desegregated mixed musical bag approach that has earned Dan Zanes his place at the forefront of the family music genre. The album features the multitalented singer/violinist/whistler Andrew Bird, funk/soul singer Sharon Jones's powerful voice in a duet, West African group The Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars, and Zanes's long time friend Joan Osborne. Zanes also recorded with the scrappy and soulful youth orchestra of the nonprofit organization The Harmony Project.
