It's still MMW but it's not anything you've heard before. It's a kids record! There are vocals! Good fun and good jams.Free Music Review: Should Somebody Get This If They Don't Have Kids?

"Let's Go Everywhere" is a fantastic listen for kids and their parents. Children's albums typically hire mediocre studio musicians, run a cheap production and talk down to kids. In this sense, "Let's Go Everywhere" transcends the typical children's album. There is a balance of vocal oriented songs and the type of funk infused Rock instrumentals that have become the hallmark of Medeski, Martin and Wood (MMW). In addition to Rock and Jazz, the recording is threaded with tones of R&B and the Blues. The songs that feature vocals are good. While 'Pirates Don't Take Baths' is a highlight, the title track is the blockbuster. 'Let's Go Everywhere' is a reworked version of the classic 'I've Been Everywhere.' Most are familiar with the Country tune through Hank Snow or Johnny Cash. As done by MMW, the song is a funky call to travel. The ditty will travel on a loop through any listener's mind, long after the stereo is turned off. A few tracks on this project even feature children doing spoken word and some singing. 'The Squalb' is an entertaining spoken word story. 'Old Paint' offers an introspective retelling of the cowboy song. One of the benefits of this project is that it is very catchy; the musical hooks will quickly grab any listener. The downside of catchy music is that it tends to get old quickly. Indeed, while this is a fun listen, it doesn't have the staying power of MMW's typical fare. All in all, the answer to the question posed by the title of this review is yes! There's material here that is sure to become part of MMW's cherished studio canon. "Let's Go Everywhere" has something for both adults and children. While the descriptor "all ages" is used a little too loosely to describe children's media, it really fits "Let's Go Everywhere." Free Music Review: a family album

i was pretty excited to buy this album, because i've been a long time fan of MMW. i was, i'll admit skeptical as to how my two boys would react. but i have to say i think that they like it as much as i do, so it's been the sole resident in the kitchen stereo since it came home.
and that's the best part.
it's not just for kids and tolerated by adults, nor for adults and tolerated by kids.
every one in my house loves it.

I made the fortunate mistake of ordering this without having any idea what it was, except that I love MMW. This is kid music. Interesting, cool kid music. 40 minutes plus or minus of songs to sing or play with your children. I like it, but some will probably be expecting instrumental jazz/funk/without the lyrics.Free Music Review: Let's go Everywhere and back again

This album may be oriented towards kiddy consumption but it is as funky as!!!!
If you like MMW, you'll like this.
If you don't like MMW, maybe your kids will.
