Free Music Notes for Happy Accidents

Free Music Review: Fantastic, even for grownups
Hit: 5 Stars

Wow. This one is even better than "What Kind of Cat Are You." Billy Jonas, for those of you who don't know, is an experimental folkie whose live shows (some for kids, some for grownups) feature him playing tons of homemade instruments, often several at once, most of them made out of recycled and re-purposed ex-junk. (He's also a good guitarist.) This, his 5th album, is his best so far.

This is truly a "family" album, not a kids' album. Which is to say that while all songs are appropriate for kids, there are many songs here that would be highlights of any adult album. (The gorgeous and mystical "To Be One" and "You Are Not Alone" come to mind.) It's a good balance. The kids' songs are clever and silly enough to make both kids and grownups crack up. ("Vitamin Alphabet" and "Happy Accidents" are two highlights among many.)

Musically, it's all over the map in the best possible way. "Who's Gonna Make Our Music" is a Sly and the Family Stone homage. "You Are Not Alone" features a beautifully-arranged marimba orchestra. Dixieland jazz bands and classical choirs make bizarre cameos at appropriate moments. And some of the quieter songs are simply haunting in composition and arrangement.

The album features a mini-rock opera at the end about a kid's struggle against the forces trying to get him out of bed and off to school. (It's left open as to who wins at the end....)

I bought this for my nephew. But I ended up keeping it for myself, and now I need to buy him a new one.
