"Count Me In!" by The Little Rockers Band {Review + Giveaway}

Disclosure: I received a sample CD for review purposes. No other compensation was received and all opinions expressed are my own.

We love dance parties, so I said absolutely when I was given the chance to review "Count Me In!" - the latest album release from The Little Rockers Band. This new album will hit shelves tomorrow, and I think there will be a whole lot of dance parties going on when it does!

The Little Rockers Band features Chris & Jessie Apple, who bring a little bit of rock and roll and a little bit of Broadway to the mix. They encounter kids on a constant basis as they teach music. All of the songs featured on this new album were inspired by experiences with those kids - how cool is that? I teach a successful little garage drama troupe and dream of having a performing arts space someday....I'm inspired by all that Chris & Jessie have accomplished!

There's really a little bit of everything on this album - from Motown to '50s Rocker Style to a Paul Simon cover, kids will be introduced to a wide variety of music styles, without even realizing that they are learning about music. They'll be having too much fun singing and dancing along!

Here's the track list -

1. Count Me In
2. 1,2,3,4 Go!
3. Fortune Cookie
4. Hi, Hi, Hi
5. Morning Train
6. Old Mick Jagger
7. Me and Julio
8. Little Deer
9. Me And My Dog
10. Wild Wild West (featured in the video below)
11. In The Bathtub


I'm particularly fond of "Hi, Hi, Hi" because it has such a grooving Motown spirit, "In The Bathtub" because I sing while my kids are in the bath all the time and I need new material, and "Fortune Cookie" because it's just peppy and fun. Lincoln and Addie are both happy to dance along to any tune, and Lincoln's starting to pick up some of the words to these songs! This album is currently playing on repeat in our family van, and will probably stay there for a long time.
