This CD is a great sign along for toddlers in the car. My 2 year old son loves to shout out the words to "In the Car" and "Willie the Whale." Great music.
Yellow Bus Poster
Alternative-country enthusiasts who've ventured into parenthood will want to climb aboard Justin Roberts's Yellow Bus, a tastefully twangy, boot-stomping affair also fit for musically with-it kids age 2 and up. Roberts, no showoff, delivers the 12 original songs here in a down-homey, deeply satisfying voice that'll set the uninitiated to scratching their heads over why he's not already famous. More than that, though, he proves himself a gifted guitarist and fearless songwriter: Yellow Bus's uniformly excellent selections explore the silly ("Willy Was a Whale," an alliterative ditty in which the title fish twies to be wuff and tough while walking on water all the way to Weno, Nevada), the spooky ("Thought It Was a Monster," a story surveying the potential origins of the kind of creepy noises that'll keep a kid up at night with a refrain--"Thought it was a monster / Thought it was a ghost / Thought it was my brother trying to freak me out"--representative of Roberts's delightfully straightforward songcraft), the hilarious ("Tickle My Toes," a gleefully pulse-raising plea for mercy from a tickle-mad mama), and even the profound ("Mama Is Sad," about a child's sympathy and generosity in turbulent times, in this case a divorce). Musically, the here gentle, there ferocious strumming gets support from occasional trumpet toots, mandolin, banjo, and a back-up chorus of completely natural-sounding kids. Roberts's sophomore outing--his first record was 1998's acclaimed Great Big Sun--is roundly impressive; the only problem with this yellow bus is that its wheels don't go round and round longer. --Tammy La GorceJustin's most recent release is his long awaited follow up to his critically acclaimed children's record, "Great Big Sun." It features songs about whales, rocketships, and one little cookie.
Jim Walsh from the Pioneer Press said that Yellow Bus "tops even [the] magical debut, "Great Big Sun," of three years ago.
